The Heritage Foundation site will show you a "full Project 2025 document" that will fail many text searches. Explained below.
Example: If you take the Heritage Foundation site's link below, and search on the word "abort". No hits, right? But if you search on "abor", you will find a hit. hmmmmm. That doesn't make sense, does it? That is not how a search engine normally works, if the word or characters are in fact in the document. (see screen image below)
After much experimentation, we discovered the problem. The "official" page has an odd search engine that ONLY looks up whole words.
Thus, if you try to find "abortifacient", and you only enter "abortif", you will not find it. This is NOT the normal default for searches. We don't yet know how they forced this, but that is the problem.
Bottom line: use only whole words. By the way, if you look up "abortifacient", you ALSO need to do a separate lookup on "abortifacients", which has an interesting entry of its own, that WILL NOT SHOW UP on the non-plural version.
Another example, to illustrate the "fuzzy letters" problem:
Remaining research questions:
1. Why in the world does the Heritage Foundation version say "Contributed by NPR"? Copilot couldn't answer this question.
2. Why do they offer a link to "Original document" at the bottom right, with no explanation whatsoever? Which one is the real one? What is the difference? How would anyone know which document to use?

Another example, to illustrate the "fuzzy letters" problem:
- Look up "abortifacients". You will see one hit on page 317. Examine that paragraph, and you will see a fuzzed up version of the word "immigration".
- Now look up "immigration". Does page 317 pop up? Nope.
- Conclusion: the fuzzed-up letters are also contributing to our problem with finding the true wording in the document.
