Of course - and that's why it's printing a warning: the database cannot
lookup the search term "as it was entered", and needs to interpret it
- which may or may not be what you would expect.  So it tells you what
it made of it.

(And of course the behaviour can be changed, if there is a strong voice
for it in the DB WG - this is what it's for, after all :) )
