In Help > LibreOffice Writer > Similarity Search > Settings > Exchange Characters > "For example, if you specify 2 exchanged characters, 'black' and 'crack' are considered similar.": That example has a political connotation that commends replacing the example. I suggest, "For example, if you specify 2 exchanged characters, 'sweep' and 'creep' are considered similar." I uninstalled and reinstalled Writer on Aug. 16, 2015, and got a different user interface look, but still received only version 4.3.7.2, even though that was not offered via LibreOffice.org a few minutes later, so apparently that version is still being supported. If the problem still applies to a later version, addressing that will be enough. My hardware is AMD.
The first thing that came to my mind was "Black don't crack": http://blackgirlnerds.com/black-dont-crack-sort-of/ I assume with political connotations you are referring to the crack epidemic media bullshit from the 1980s, so let's set to NEW.
