I don't see any false matches there. (I guess you somehow mean `M-x apropos-documentation' instead of `C-h C-d'.) Just to make sure that you understand the real problem: with the current code, `mail alias .mailrc' will not match the text "mail alias in your .mailrc file" although a user unfamiliar with regexps and familiar with your "at least two matches" rule would expect it to match. But, if we go for Stefan's solution, that problem would disappear anyway. Sincerely, Luc.
