Wygląda to na "feature" glimpse'a.
http://lists.debian.org/glimpse.html:
   Since the index is word based, a regular expression must match words that appear in the index for glimpse to find it.
   Glimpse first strips the regular expression from all non-alphabetic characters, and searches the index for all remaining
   words. It then applies the regular expression matching algorithm to the files found in the index. For example, glimpse
   `abc.*xyz' will search the index for all files that contain both `abc' and `xyz', and then search directly for `abc.*xyz'
   in those files. (If you use glimpse -w `abc.*xyz', then `abcxyz' will not be found, because glimpse will think that abc
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   and xyz need to be matches to whole words.)
