            Bug ID: 223522
           Summary: `whatis .=E2=80=99 returns random results
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: wosch@FreeBSD.org

Running whatis for the single character =E2=80=9Ca=E2=80=9D works fine:

$ whatis a
a.out(5) - format of executable binary files

But running whatis with a single dot returns random results. It includes
=E2=80=9Ca.out=E2=80=9D, but many manpages which don=E2=80=99t have a =E2=
=80=98.=E2=80=99 in the name

$ whatis  . | head -8
whatis .|head -8
