When I execute the following search:

power watts /\digit+ w/sent

and run the result through the highlighter, the highlighted terms don't match the query, or comply with the sentence proximity restriction:

A preferred procedure is Ar RF sputter etching at between around 0.001 and 1 torr with about <b>1<b> KeV energyat 13.5 Mhz. Commonly, 0.1-10 <b>watts<b>/cm.sup.2 <b>power<b> densities for about 1-60 min. are used to clean and roughen the surface.

Help me understand how the highlighter is operating and how to make it match what texis sees.

"The e flag indicates that the query should be used exactly as given. Normally, some processing is done to the query to help ensure that all occurrences of its terms are highlighted: in effect, ``@0 w/.'' is appended to the end. Otherwise redundant hits may be ignored, eg. if ``within-document'' is set (no w/ in the query). With e set, such processing is not done, and some apparent hits may be left unhighlighted. "
