If this is compiled HTML Help (.chm), you should just need to
munge the word "project" in your HTML source code so that it
differs from the search string that the user might enter. For
example, the following should look and work just like a standard
hyperlink, but a search for the word "project" will fail to find
it:
<a href="target.html">Creating a
pro<nobr>ject</a>
You do have to be a little careful, however, because if the
text string "project" exists elsewhere in the topic, a search for
that word will find both the genuine instance
and the munged version.
