Well, first of all, are you sure that stripping out the punctuation is a problem? Note that the same process is done during the indexing phase, so that if there was a document that was indexed that contained bla.bla.bla, a search for blablabla would find it! This is only a problem if you get a lot of false positives, i.e. if you MUST treat bla.bla.bla and blabl.abla as different words, and you can't allow a search for one of these to match another with different punctuation in it. If you really need to treat the period as a significant character, i.e. just like a letter, then you can remove it from valid_punctuation (set valid_punctuation in your htdig.conf to something other than the built-in default) and add the period to extra_word_characters. If you do this, though, the period will be treated as a letter in all contexts. That means that searching for the word "context" in the previous sentence would fail because it would be indexed as "context." rather than "context".
