Hi Robo,
As far as I am aware, if your search term is 'cat' and you choose exact words, then the exact word cat must be in the results. If you choose find similar words then the results can contain cat, cathedral, catalogue, scatter... i.e. any words that contain cat.
If you want the exact phrase returned then you need to put quotation marks around it like "black white" - you should find that this doesn't return the 'white black' link. (This only works with some of the indexing methods). There is some information about how the search engine works in the manual.
