CoCoAManual: searching for ?? mat and for ?? matrix give different results
Description
In CoCoA-5
??mat
gives a different result from
??matrix
Is this what we want?

I was hoping to have an interesting issue with number 1111; instead it is just this... sigh!
My guess is that a CoCoA beginner would more likely type ??matrix
than ??mat
.
I had hoped that they would give the same results...

? mat
and ? matrix
give the same result.?? blah
means "all entries whose search keys contain blah", so I don't find it strange to have different output for ?? mat
and ?? matrix
.

I mostly agree. However, I wonder whether some results which appear under ??mat
should also appear under ??matrix
.
Here are some candidates:
? DiagMat ? ElimHomogMat ? ElimMat ? HilbertMat ? IdentityMat ? LawrenceMat ? LexMat ? MakeMatByRows, MakeMatByCols ? MakeTermOrd ? matrix ? MSatLinSolve ? NewMat ? NewMatFilled ? RevLexMat ? StdDegLexMat ? StdDegRevLexMat ? SylvesterMat ? TensorMat ? XelMat ? ZeroMat
What do you think? I suppose it would suffice to add matrix
as a keyword...
