Hi Debi,
About the two problems you encountered:

This probably means the document was modified between the nightly
full-text indexing and the time you saw it. It actually did contain
that word at the time it was indexed.

This is a known bug in the full-text indexing done on the TechInfo
server. It unpredictably finds some words and not others.
