The problem is in Tools > AutoCorrect > Replace. It is not in
Find/Replace (Control+F).
The function of the Replace tab under AutoCorrect is to replace a
commonly misspelled word with the correct spelling. It does not replace parts
of a word. Furthermore, it only works when a space is inserted after the
word. So, this sentence would not be changed by it: "This is what it is all
abotu." (Try typing this sentence in Writer without the quotes, and you will
see.)
