--- Comment #4 from Ross Johnson <ross.johnson at homemail.com.au> ---
The HTML Help page search function uses a "fuzzy" algorithm to pick matching
results. The code refers to a "typo" tolerance feature. I believe this is what
the reporter and commenters are mainly referring to. To aid recognition, the
characters that match the search term are highlighted in boldface to show how
the found entry was matched.

However, the "double entries" referred to are a result of fundamental flaw in
the way the search results are rendered. They are not all correctly grouped
under the LO module that they relate to (CALC, WRITER, IMPRESS, etc).

I have a patch prepared that fixes the grouping in the list. However the
"fuzzy" matching is not a bug but showing the results correctly grouped will
hopefully make this fuzz factor much more tolerable, even helpful.
