interpreted = N
texte = OK. Here's the mea culpa part.... I've worked out what's happened. Turns out the search was working correctly. What's happened is that I have done a couple of GREPs to highlight the searched-for words. The grep highlighted the partial words, but WebDNA was actually behaving correctly and finding a whole word... Trying to be too clever has been my undoing. Thanks for all your input.
