I don't understand your date convention, or is it even a date convention.
When IS sees something that looks like a date it will assume it is a date
and parse it as such.

however, you can merrily remove these numbers from your noise word list -
probably noise.dat or if you are querying in dutch noise.nld, and rebuild
your catalog.

you will have to stop IS to make this change.
