OK
so, what is it for, why is it there, etc.
And yes, I thought it was undocumented.
RTFM.
Yeas, i mean seriously, RTFM, there's thousands of returns at http://openeuphoria.org/search/results.wc?s=%60&manual=1
That's why I never said to SEARCH the friendly manual. 
This is probably an issue with the way MySQL's AGAINST works - when combining a word and a space like "function " or "procedure " with a backquote, it gives the same results as just searching for "function" or "procedure". We probably need special handling for characters like this (single quote, double quote, plus sign, minus sign, and the space character are similarly affected).
Of course, dealing with quotes and searching in mysql is always hard. http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?52,216660,216794#msg-216794
The other bit is that, for the search columns used internally in the database, we don't seem to have characters like the backquote linked to the pages that describe them. So if the first issue was fixed, the search would return zero results ...
