Yes, build a range index with a case-insensitive, diacritic-insensitive, punctuation-insensitive collation. You can look in the "Encodings and Collations" chapter of the Search Developer's guide to figure out the collation URI, or you can use the little widget in the Admin Interface to build the right collation URI (which will probably be easier...). The widget is in a couple of places (I think on the database config page and on the App Server config page)-it is called "collation builder".

Hi folks, I have a query that seems to be kind of slow - it uses cts:element-value-query() with the case-insensitive, diacritic-insensitive, and punctuation-insensitive options. However, I want to speed up the search by creating a range element index on the elements of interest. I noticed, however, that the corresponding lexicon query would be cts::element-value-match(), but it only provides case-insensitive and diacritic-insensitive search options but not the punctuation-insensitive option. How can I make this lexicon query punctuation-insensitive? Can I do it by building a custom collation with the alternate characters setting set to "avoid punctuation"? Thank you! Tim Meagher
