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.

Patch seems to fix the problem and makes the search much better than before.
