NHS Choices weirdness

I was on the NHS site and (boring pointless story omitted) searched for clavicle.

Here's the first 2 responses. I clicked the second one and there is no mention of clavicle!

Well, a lot of blokes are unable to find the clavicle when it's important

I would guess the search algorithm allows for degrees of fuzzy matching on the input term, to allow for spelling mistakes and different versions (compounds, inflections etc) of the same word. However accepting just the first 2 letters as a reasonable degree of fuzz seems a bit random and should really be way down the bottom of any list of matching terms.

Are there (m)any other terms starting with CL- in the database?

I am surprised as clavicle popping is a well known symptom of orgasm.

I have to cede my expertise on the female body. It never occurred to me they meant.... the man in a boat.

Well, it's still weird but at least I have an explanation

Making love to a beautiful woman is like playing the clavicle, a mixture of gentle finger work, rhythms and sweet, sweet music.

I mean clavichord.
