I'm afraid there is no easy way currently, it requires code changes.

with rg/ack, you'd do rg '\bsome_word\b', but it currently doesn't work in ctrlsf 😞

@bew It works, but you should turn on regex flag by let g:ctrlsf_regex_pattern = 1 or use command :CtrlSF -R '\bsome_word\b'. This is so because ctrlsf is searching literally by default.
