Emacs Regex - shortkey

i have no clue about lisp... i have a small feature that i would like to have, if someone can help me it will be great.

when i want to do regex i do C-M-s and enter my text, most of the time i'm searching for whole word so i do something like this

C-M-s \[^] (The ^ is to match exact word without _)

i would like to have bindkey/function that i press the key, its open text box search i enter my text and its auto add \< at the begin and > at the end

can you please assist?

Thanks Jony

Your description is not clear (to me), but it sounds like you just want to do incremental word search.

In that case, just do it: M-s w. See the Emacs manual, node Word Search.
