This problem exists irrespective of the ICU and DOM settings so is not
relevant to the question Galen posed.
I think the problem is that we assume starts with is searching headings,
zebra is returning keywords that start with i.e. starts with O returns
O'Reilly but also Duke of Argyll because both contain keywords starting
with o. As I posted earlier I suspect a search tool which is keyword
oriented is possibly not the best tool for authority headings.
