How can this be a search result?

I am searching Webster  for the word "genuflect" in the basic search window. There are no results, but the index of the disctionary has the word listed. Here is a screenshot, what is wrong?

    As was stated, it's a bug.  What I'm wondering about is why you bother doing a search of Webster's for the word when all you need to do is to open Webster's and type it into the address box.

    all you need to do is to open Webster's and type it into the address box.

    Also, you can type in the Command box:-

    lookup genuflect

    and it will be found in Webster's(MW), Oxford etc.; whichever has the word and is prioritised higher.

    One more thing which can be done is to prioritize an English language dictionary such as Webster's or Collins and double-click on the word if you run across it in a resource.
