The term "resynchronization" (or rather "resync") is already used in the Compare by Content context menu, isn't it?
The button is called "Sync" too.

I thought about talking about resynchronization, but no one outside of a small group of developers will understand what that means.
That's still the case. Perhaps even more so.

That's why I write about finding inserted text, because that's essentially the purpose of this function.
The meaning of "Find inserted text" is very specific here. It's a way of describing synchronization in a way that can only be understood if you understand synchronization.
It finds inserted text as well as modified and deleted text. The option "Find inserted text only at spaces" finds inserted text and modified text not only at spaces, but also in the middle of words.
Please explain to me what you think the user's thought process will be when he reads the options and doesn't know what synchronization is.
How about describing it this way:
6219="&1 Try to resynchronize at any character (finds multiple differences within a word)"
6220="&2 Try to resynchronize at next space (finds 1 difference within a word)"
6221="&3 Try to resynchronize at specified separators"
6222=" &Specify separators..."
6223="&0 No synchronization (compare at fixed positions, e.g. for tables)"
