Content Filter

We are using the content filter and running into a few snags. For example one of our blocked words is “ass” and our mask is set for “(innappropriate content)” when users type in assistance or password the recieving user gets: “(innappropriate content)istance” or “p(innappropriate content)word”

Is there a setting to only block whole words and not just portions of them?

Thanks!

For a complete word match you must use a boundary check ie:
