@wincent <Plug>(FerretAckWord) works well, but i would like to match whole word only, like the -w arg in Ack, how should i do ?

If you look at the definition of <Plug>(FerretAckWord) you'll see it just maps to:

:Ack <C-r><C-w><CR>

And if you look at the Vim help (:h c_CTRL-R_CTRL-W) for <C-r><C-w> you'll see:

CTRL-R CTRL-F				*c_CTRL-R_CTRL-F* *c_<C-R>_<C-F>*
CTRL-R CTRL-P				*c_CTRL-R_CTRL-P* *c_<C-R>_<C-P>*
CTRL-R CTRL-W				*c_CTRL-R_CTRL-W* *c_<C-R>_<C-W>*
CTRL-R CTRL-A				*c_CTRL-R_CTRL-A* *c_<C-R>_<C-A>*
CTRL-R CTRL-L				*c_CTRL-R_CTRL-L* *c_<C-R>_<C-L>*
		Insert the object under the cursor:
			CTRL-F	the Filename under the cursor
			CTRL-P	the Filename under the cursor, expanded with
				'path' as in |gf|
			CTRL-W	the Word under the cursor
			CTRL-A	the WORD under the cursor; see |WORD|
			CTRL-L	the line under the cursor

so it is expanding the "word" under the cursor. You could make a similar mapping to instead find the "WORD". If neither of those gives you what you want, then you'd need to cook something else up, but for most intents and purposes, "word" should be pretty close to what -w does.
