2. In the Keyword List panel, right-click the keyword "Brands Hatch" and do Edit Keyword Tag. Does "boats" occur anywhere within the Synonyms field, e.g.

3. Do the menu command Metadata > Export Keywords. Open the file in a text editor and search for "boats". If you don't find it, upload the file to Dropbox or similar and post the sharing link here.
