When I search for vdirsyncer, bug#61557 appears in the hit list.

Searching for certificates does not show such a hit. However, in the bug
messages this word appears only as certificates" or "certificates". This
seems to prevent the word to be indexed. The HyperEstraier search engine
counts only words, and a leading or trailing apostrophe seems to
suppress a string to be regarded as word. Just a guess, but it is the
most plausible explanation.

Best regards, Michael.
