We need to move this back to the list, your results are of general interest and I don't think that they reveal anything private.
The matcher only tries to match on the beginning of words, so whatever is causing the problem starts with `tes` and `ates` won't match it. Let's try to find it: Open the find dialog (Edit>Find or cmd-F) in the register. Select "matches regex" from the list button after "Description" and enter "[[:<:]]tes[^c]" (no quotes) and click Find. That will present a list of transactions with descriptions having words starting with tes that aren't tesco. If it's too many to look through try "[[:<:]]tes[^a-z]"; that will show only entries where tes is followed by something that isn't a letter.
