Current versions of Lucene are capable of finding single words or phrases and can use various operators such as 'AND', 'NOT' etc. (See https://lucene.apache.org/core/2_9_4/queryparsersyntax.html.) So the search packaged with Webhelp is either an old version of Lucene or not Lucene at all. Other

I use DocBook source with the docbkx Maven plugin to generate PDFs, WebHelp, and some HTML. The WebHelp search is a source of frustration, mostly because it does not support phrase searches. So if you search for "source connectors", it looks for topics that have either the word source or the word
