Re: Problem with words contains '-' character

Hi by default the - is not a true word character so it is used as a term delimiter, i.e. in the index the term LD-3W is two words LD and 3W. Also by default the minimum indexable word length is 4 characters so they don't even get into the index.

I would replace the hyphen with an underscore which is a true word character. Then searching on LD_3W should work. Or removing the hyphens all together, then searching on LD3W should work.
