Bug Description

The look utility has more or less stopped working, i.e. it finds results for some words but not others.

Example: look answ, among many others, returns nothing while a grep of /usr/share/dict/words returns matches.

All the links to /usr/share/dict/words appear to be correct.

This happens on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS on both X86_64 and aarch64 for bsdextrautils 2.37.2-4ubuntu3.
