-  A nonincremental word search differs slightly from the incremental
-version in the way it finds a match: the last word in the search
-string must be an exact match for a whole word.  In an incremental
-word search, the last word in the search string can match part of a
-word; this allows the matching to proceed incrementally as you type.
+  Incremental and nonincremental word searches differ slightly in the

+in the search string must exactly match a whole word.  In an
+incremental word search, the matching is more lax: the last word in
+the search string can match part of a word, so that the matching
+proceeds incrementally as you type.  This additional laxity does not
+apply to the lazy highlight, which always matches whole words.
