The macro don't work if SearchSimilarity is true. Work if false.
Work on words, but not on sentence.

For me, not a bug.
Did you read this page:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/BASIC_Guide/Editing_Text_Documents
Sample for similarity search shows that this works for one word and finding its plural and declinations.
Comment 4 Jean-Michel COSTE 2020-05-30 14:47:20 UTC 
It also doesn't work in the interface.
Comment 5 Jean-Michel COSTE 2020-05-30 17:14:39 UTC 
Real bug. Same described here : https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=59734

Quote:
When it was designed, the main purpose for similarity search was to find
variants of lengish words, and not parts of sentences (several words). 

Note a bug. You use the funtionality out of scope. However, we could think on extending the functionality. Which is an enhancement. I close this bug, as Duplicate and we can continue on the old one.
