Yes, I do.  It's stemming to "and" and, I think, it's considering that 
an operator ("and").

Try 
   -w '"andes"'

which is a phrase search (forces a word and not an opeator.

moseley@bumby:~$ swish-e -w 'andes' -H0
err: No search words specified
.
moseley@bumby:~$ swish-e -w '"andes"' -H0
1000 1.txt "1.txt" 10

That's a good bug catch.  The trick is if I can find a way to make it 
not thing the stemmed word is an operator.
