[dict-beta] Unexpected behavior in match mode

[Brian K. <br...@no...>]

Some of the matching strategies do not return all the expected matches. For
example, on <http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict>, advanced search, try:

Query string: 00-database-info
Search type:  Exact
Database:     Any

All I get is:

> 1 match found 
> 
> web1913:  00-database-info

Shouldn't it list all the databases, since they all have an entry for
"00-database-info"? And shouldn't prefix, substring and suffix return all
the databases too? 

If I switch to soundex, I get:

> 19 matches found 
> 
> web1913:  00-database-info  00-database-long  00-database-short
> 00-database-url
> wn:  00-database-info  00-database-long  00-database-short
> gazetteer:  00-database-info  00-database-long
> jargon:  00-database-info  00-database-short
> foldoc:  00-database-info  00-database-short
> elements:  00-database-info  00-database-short
> easton:  00-database-info  00-database-short
> hitchcock:  00-database-info  00-database-short

I get the same behavior if I connect via telnet directly to a DICT server.
It's as if some of the strategies only return the first match. Any ideas?
