I had  success with a and b, but not c.  The JavaHelp search uses
a plain language search engine which does not allow wild cards, etc.
It says it does use a morphing which allows something like build
to match on built, builder, and building.  However, it doesn't
seem to link collaborate with collaboration.

Does it still give that error?  I just searched and it worked for
me.  Could you send that image to address@hidden 
and explain what you did?  I don't have a good way of splitting
up this message into another area.

Thanks.
