Description:
A search on the words "sunday" and "school" retrieves record 001563622.
But record 001563622 does not contain the text "sunday".

Resolution:
To see whether the word sunday is indexed for record 001563622, you do the following.

First you get the Z97-REC-NUMBER for "sunday":
UTIL-F-4:
enter file name (or q to exit) z97
...
new key = K, exit = Q, continue = RETURN
k
key 1 = 1, key 3 = 3
1
enter start word position TTTTTTTT
sunday
-sunday -001257917-001257917

Then you do UTIL-F-4 again, for "word3", specifying the WRD index (001) and the Z97-REC-NUMBER we found for "sunday":

enter file name (or q to exit) word3
new key = K, exit = Q, continue = RETURN
k
enter start position nnnnnnnnnnnn
001001257917
Rec key = 001001257917 Number of items = 000004021
Doc number = 000005266
Doc number = 000005963
Doc number = 000007678
<etc.>

Then press Enter about 100 times. Eventually you come to this:
Doc number = 001563622

This shows that the text "sunday" is indexed for record 001563622.

If you don't see "sunday" when you look at the record with UTIL-F-4 (or MARC Tags), then check tab_expand to make sure that all of the expands included in WEB-FULL are also included in U39-DOC (or WEB-FULL-1).

If you still don't see the word, note that there is no way to directly delete this association in Oracle since it is stored in the Z98_DATA or Z980_DATA columns -- both of which are in LONG RAW format.

The only way we know of to correct this is to run p_manage_01 (to completely regenerate the Words).... But we have found that this happens very rarely.
