[TRLog] Why doesn't this mult lookup work?

If the ".dom" file has the following entries in this particular order:
Bed = Bedford, BED, BEDF
Bedx = BedfordCity, BEDX
When I enter BEDFORDCITY or BEDFORD, the mult comes out as Bed in both 
cases.

If the ".dom" file has the following entries in this order:
Bedx = BedfordCity, BEDX
Bed = Bedford, BED, BEDF
When I enter BEDFORDCITY or BEDFORD, the mult comes out as Bedx in both 
cases.

The only why I can explain this is that the compare length in the lookup 
algorithm uses the shorter length, whether it is from what was entered or 
what's in the .dom file.  I believe that the compare length shud be the 
length of what was entered, for the first pass.  Then, if you get no hits, 
knock the last character off of what was entered for the next pass, but 
still use the length of what was entered (less one).

Is there something I'm missing?
