Description

search('[these mosquitoes]', parsetree("I am afraid of these mosquitoes"), STRICT)
returns [Match(words=[Word(u'these/DT')]), Match(words=[Word(u'mosquitoes/NNS')])]

In the case of taxonomies this makes it difficult to identify which term was found.

Research direction

Reproduce the example using search() with parsetree() and the STRICT flag, then inspect how STRICT handles bracketed phrases and taxonomy matching. Done means the phrase “these mosquitoes” is returned as one match rather than separate matches, while taxonomy terms remain identifiable.
