N.B. In all searches with the asterisk, the search results page may also highlight “fuzzy” matches found in the documents, that is words that neither starts nor ends with the searched string exactly. This happens if legitimate hit is found. Such “courtesy” highlighting does not mean that all texts with these words were found. | |
