This is correct behavior. We cannot require that words be 100% identical or you would be complaining that hovering over "waters" doesn't bring up "water". For languages with more inflectional morphology than English, this becomes ever more necessary. It's also useful when a derived form doesn't exist in the dictionary, but the stem does since you will probably get the stem (though at the moment it only works for suffixation, not other forms of affixation). It is easy to imagine a language where "-ock" is an affix that causes the "-e" to be dropped. In other words, it's not a bug and it's working as Troy designed it. --Chris
