Ok, it is telling you how the variable is interpreted when you specify
a text search.  It then goes on to explain about Glimpse searches.
Perhaps the paragraph could be extended to note what happens in an
ordinary db/sql search.

That would account for the error message you got "...probably search

Interchange Database (icdatabase) - section 4.11 (Search Reference).
Also of interest is section 4.7 (One-Click Searches) which lists the
two-letter abbreviations and how they are mapped to the full variable
names.
