Description:
------------
This is a genuine problem that appears to be similar to some CHM bugs, but actually appears on the php.net search function as well. I am not the person who submitted a similar report and then didn't follow up; I will follow up if needed.

When I searched for the string "play" in the function list (using the search fields at the top of the site pages), the sole page returned was the yp_all function page.
The string "play" does not appear on that page or in the metadocumentation for that page. This is just a heads-up on the logic error, I assume that other off-kilter search terms will also result in bogus page returns.
If you need any more info, please feel free to email me, I'll be glad to assist. Meanwhile I'll go "play"...

Cheers,
PC Pete

This is expected behaviour.

metaphone('play') === metaphone('yp_all')

Thanks Dave, I didn't expect the metaphone behaviour as default. Next time I'll RTFS!
Cheers,
