Please read the FAQ: q 1.5 and q 1.16:

Gilles answered your question--you have to remove the characters from
valid_punctuation and add them to the extra_word_characters. (And you'll
have to reindex.)

On the other hand, the searching is consistent with the indexing, so
unless you think you have a lot of "testcom" words, then a search for
test.com will find the same pages that had it originally.
