Do you have any other examples? For the 'subst' case I have an easy
explanation. Typing 'isubst' will perform a substring match on the
word subst in the index, which will match the following items:

* portability, substr function:          String Functions.    (line 457)
* substr function:                       String Functions.    (line 426)
* troubleshooting, substr function:      String Functions.    (line 444)

You probably want the second item, but the first is at the bottom of
the same page. When you type for 'isubst<tab>' it will autocomplete to
the index item you want. So in my opinion this is not a bug.

Regards,

Jeroen Schot
