I don't really understand this -- the TERM search uses the same 
keyword index as the KEYWORD search. (At least, that's my memory -- I 
haven't had my hands deep into this part of the program code for 
quite a while now.)

Although when searching for a word shorter than 3 letters long, it 
might be that TERM falls back to a full text search rather than an 
indexed search. Though I wouldn't expect that to affect the KEYWORD 
search.

Just out of curiosity -- try using Keyword Input/Edit to change "NK" 
to something a bit longer. I don't _think_ this should make any 
difference here, but...
