  • Data may be inconsistent (e.g. include items that match on "flash light" and others that match on "flashlight")
  • When searching for the phrase, "flash light," Hawk will search for results that match on either "flash" or "light"

With a Keyword Replacement in place, searching for either "flash light" or "flashlight" will return the same results:
