The search system searches only on entire words, not on pieces of words (even if the pieces are separated by hyphens). If you search for the word "timber", the search system matches the "fugel-timber" entry because the word "timber" happens to occur by itself as a separate word within that entry. The entry for "magu-timber" doesn't contain the word "timber" by itself, which is why it isn't being included in the search results.
