Field notes
The homepage demonstrates queries such as “torque m12” and shows matching snippets with document names and page numbers. It describes several matching modes, from exact and prefix searches to fuzzy and meaning-based results, and says a selected hit opens directly at its page. These are product descriptions and examples on the site, not independent tests.
