            Bug ID: 126294
           Summary: Similarity search never finds results when searching
                    multiple words
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: cuthalionxvi at gmail.com

Description:
In Writer 6.2.4.2 (x64), the Find & Replace dialog's "similarity search" option
fails to find results if you have multiple words or whitespace in the "find"
input. It appears to be treating whitespace or extra words like added or
exchanged characters.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new Writer document.
2. Type something. Example: "For example, this document."
3. Open Find & Replace. Search for "document". This works.
4. Check "Similarity search" and set "Exachange characters" to 2. Search again.
This works.
5. Search for "docummmt" instead. This works.
6. Search for "this docummmt" or even just " docummmt". This does not work.
7. Increase the add or exchange characters or both. If you increase them
enough, this works, but the combination is unclear.

Actual Results:
"Search key not found"

Expected Results:
Highlight 1 result


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
