Details:

search.tlu contains these lines:

    -- get results
    get_doclist_sty(sty)
    get_doclist_texdocs(normal)
    get_doclist_tlpdb(pattern)

If a file found by get_doclist_texdocs (i.e. a real file with a tree code > 0)
is also matched by get_doclist_tlpdb, then the latter overwrites the former
when it is merged, and incorrectly downgrades the tree code.

Simply reversing the order of the two calls to give:

    -- get results
    get_doclist_sty(sty)
    get_doclist_tlpdb(pattern)
    get_doclist_texdocs(normal)

fixes the bug. The same principle presumably applies to get_doclist_sty, which
gives a tree code of -1, and hence must go first (where it already is).

For convenience, I attach an actual patch file.
