Confusion on search

I'm somewhat confused by RoboHelp's search (RoboHelp 7.0.2, non-server version).

From RoboHelp's help:
QUOTE:
Search For a phrase:

"scuba dive" or scuba dive

Topics that contain "scuba dive" and all its grammatical variations.

Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying "scuba AND dive," which will find topics containing of the individual words, instead of the phrase.
END OF QUOTE

Why is it that when I search on a phrase like e.g. "scuba dive", the search will also return topics that ONLY inlcude "scuba" and "dive" as separate words?
I was expecting to see topics that include the exact phrase "scuba dive" only.

Whilst it is not clear in the help, I think you will find that much of what it says only applied to compiled HTML help. In webhelp each word is search separately so the results you are getting are normal.
