Mozilla 1.6a 2003092604 / Win98SE In Help search, "IMAP" matches "Adding Pictures (Images) to Your Web Page" and other weird entries. why?
why? Because search-db.rdf sucks, that's why! It will be gone soon.
Depends on: 219825
FIXED. with search-db.rdf removal.

this is regression of bug 130346. The P is dropped and subsituted with a any-char mask. The code should be removed because it returns too many garbage results from simple searches. And it definitely breaks on non-English Help. We should expect users to recover from bad search (such as "themes" as oppose to "theme"). We should probably change all plural forms to singular forms in the search index.
