    If I type or paste "double " into the Search box (without the quotes but
with the trailing blank/space/0x20), it shows NO results.
    Often when I Ctrl+C copy from other apps such as a browser, the Clipboard
picks up a trailing space.  Getting no results when I paste text into Search
can be confusing and annoying, wondering whether I made a false request, and
then realizing I have to hit Backspace to see the result(s).
    Entering "double" works. Entering "DoUbLe" works.  (Good,
case-insensitive.)
    But it seems to treat a trailing space as significant. Changing "double"
to "double" takes away the search results. That makes partial sense because no
function in the list contains an embedded space, but it is uncomfortable.
    Changing "double" to "doublet" [also] takes away the search results.  That
is more valid than letting a trailing space take away the results, but maybe
extra letters also should not take away the results.
    The other search box in the Documentation window, "Search", has not
problem with trailing spaces.
