 In these splits, @var{field} must match a complete field name.
-@var{value} must match a complete word according to the fundamental mode
-syntax table.  You can use @code{.*} in the regexps to match partial
-field names or words.  In other words, all @var{value}'s are wrapped in
-@samp{\<} and @samp{\>} pairs.

+Normally, @var{value} in these splits must match a complete @emph{word}
+according to the fundamental mode syntax table.  In other words, all
+@var{value}'s will be implicitly surrounded by @code{\<...\>} markers,
+which are word delimiters.  Therefore, if you use the following split,
+for example,
+
+@example
+(any "joe" "joemail")
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+messages sent from @samp{joedavis@@foo.org} will normally not be filed

+@enumerate
+@item
+@vindex nnmail-split-fancy-match-partial-words
+You can set the @code{nnmail-split-fancy-match-partial-words} variable
+to non-@code{nil} in order to ignore word boundaries and instead the
+match becomes more like a grep.  This variable controls whether partial
+words are matched during fancy splitting.  The default value is
+@code{nil}.
+
+Note that it influences all @var{value}'s in your split rules.
+
+@item
+@var{value} beginning with @code{.*} ignores word boundaries in front of
+a word.  Similarly, if @var{value} ends with @code{.*}, word boundaries
+in the rear of a word will be ignored.  For example, the @var{value}
+@code{"@@example\\.com"} does not match @samp{foo@@example.com} but
+@code{".*@@example\\.com"} does.
+
+@item
+You can set the @var{invert-match-partial-words} flag in your split
+rules of the @samp{(@var{field} @var{value} @dots{})} types,
+aforementioned in this section.  If the flag is set, word boundaries on
+both sides of a word are ignored even if
+@code{nnmail-split-fancy-match-partial-words} is @code{nil}.
