Hi all,

I've been struggling with trying to provide our users with a quick text
search.  InterMedia's doing OK, but I'm having trouble setting it up because
the text I'm searching is free-form data entered by several users over the
span of years.  In other words, it's a word-jumble.

For example, one indexed string might contain "25 PIN", while another
contains "25PIN", but I need to make sure that both come up in a query
without needing the user to know to enter for multiple scenarios.  How can
that be indexed in IM?  I think I want to have digits as separators, but not
in words that are only digits, e.g. I don't want "123456" to be indexed as
"1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6".

I'm also having other problems with volumninous printjoins, but I'll tackle
one problem at a time.  :)

Thx!
