I understand.

Are the lexemes language-related?

I don’t feel it makes much sense in French to reduce such a word to “pass”. 🤔 This is more confusing than helping considering there are a lot of words that begin with “pass” without being (directly or not) related to the verb “passer”.

But if we can target the exact string with double quotes instead, that will do 🙂.

Also, what’s with the second result not having “passants” in the title despite using the double quotes on my last screenshot?
