Different from what?  Acording to the "standard" Unix regular expression
syntax (ed, vi, Grep, etc.), you asked for a string starting with 0 or
or more u's followed by "stand".  Use "u.*stand".  This is u followed 
by zero or more of any character fo0llowed by "stand".

Hmmm.  If I set the match preference to "Prefix", then do a search for
"Zilog" it brings up the relevant manual pages.  

I'm running 2.2 so maybe they fixed this.

Does anyone know the right way to index a bunch of man pages?  I tried
ixBuild with the -fman and it indexed my local man pages but an ixDump
of the index showed the file type as ASCII.  The only way I could
get them properly indexed was by copying them all to /tmp and doing
an installman on all of them.  This was a big waste since the catx
directories already existed.  It works great now, though.
