Re: What characters are considered as word boudaries

Its not configurable. Basically all non alpha numeric characters are not
indexed and are considered to be work boundaries. There are some
exceptions - handling of - in different languages, and the . If you have
something like F.B.I. it is indexed as F.B.I. and FBI. f.b.i. is broken into
f, b, and i.

Same with + and # after upper case characters, C# is indexed a C#, c#, is
indexed as c. $10.00 is indexed as $10.00, whereas $ is indexed as test.

Hi

I would like to know what are the caracters that are considered as word
boundaries in FTS and if there is a way to configure this list of
characters.

My question is about the '/' character which doesn't seem to be a word
boundary in FTS and I would like to change this behavior.

Thank's
