Has anyone else had any problems when searching for hyphenated names or words? I was searching for Hewlett-Packard and, even though there were thousands of matches with the name in the first few bytes of the saved excerpt none of the excerpts were displayed. I have a hyphen in the valid_punctuation string in the config file so maybe the routine which highligths the search words in the excerpt is trying to compare HewlettPackard with Hewlett-Packard and not getting any matches? I tried removing the hyphen from valid_punctuation but then it started searching for Hewlett and Packard which was not quite what I wanted. I tried a few other terms and the results were similar for hi-fi, x-ray etc. Also does anyone know if there is a maximum word length that htdig will store? If there is (and on my system it seems to be set to 12) how would I change it? I am using htdig 3.1.0b2 on a Solaris 2.6 Sparc box. I created an HTML file containing only the name Hewlett-Packard and indexed it. With a hyphen "-" in the valid_punctuation string in the configuration file my db.wordlist contains: -0 test c:1 l:241 i:1 w:75900 a:0 hewlettpacka c:1 l:632 i:1 w:368 a:0 I looked at a few other instances of db.wordlist on my system and found lots of odd run-on words like this but none were longer than 12 characters (some were shorter). Without the hyphen the db.wordlist looks like this: -0 test c:1 l:241 i:1 w:75900 a:0 hewlett c:1 l:632 i:1 w:368 a:0 packard c:1 l:724 i:1 w:276 a:0 I am not sure if this is better but this weekend I am going to try re-indexing without any valid_punctuation and see what happens. Has anyone else solved the hyphenation problem?
