'S is a stop word (which is not indexed), so for the index server all the 4 rows are correct results of the query.

Consult the manuals for setting the stop list preferences (a search for "BASIC_STOPLIST" should give u a hint) - probably you'll be able to set the stop list preferences in a way that suits your needs

"When someone is seeking, it happens quite easily that he only sees the thing that he is seeking; that he is unable to find anything, unable to absorb anything, because he is only thinking of the thing he is seeking, because he is obsessed with his goal. Seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal. ..."
