Instead of making Firefox search the whole sentence of the link, how do I make searching part of highlighted text?

Is there any about:config properties can be change to make it more like Google Chrome as below?

    What version of firefox are you using? Firefox behaves the same as chrome for me using Firefox 5.0 (From 2011!) Commented Jul 21, 2014 at 16:16

I found the following link: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2850797 which shows someone with the same problem.

They discovered that it was a bug introduced to firefox recently, which has a bugzilla entry at: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=985824

According to a post on that thread:

This issue is verified fixed on Firefox 31 Beta 1

So I imagine you will have to update firefox when possible, or download a beta for now.
