Research direction
Start by reproducing the two searches described in the issue: String->[String] and [Char]->[[Char]]. Read the search matching and synonym-normalization paths to determine why equivalent types produce different results. Done means both queries return the same relevant results, including lines and words, with regression coverage for the behavior.
