It's related to how the search is done. Searching for "DEBUG\b" (word
boundary) instead will find all of them.

A string is generated for each symbol. For symbols with prompts, this
string includes the prompt as well, so you get e.g.

    AB8500_DEBUG "Enable debug info via debugfs"

Those strings are then searched/displayed.

What you got with your search was all symbols whose names end in
"_DEBUG" that don't have a prompt.

The nice thing about searching both the name and the prompt is that
e.g. "debugfs ab8500" will find the symbol above. I'm also planning to
add menus to the search, by generating 'menu: "menu title"' strings
for them.

It's a bit awkward/unintuitive that what you tried doesn't work
though. Maybe the symbol name could be searched separately from the
prompt, though I'd be a bit sad to abandon the super simple
single-string-per-entry implementation approach. :)

Thanks,
Ulf
