See http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#search_algorithm

In particular, take a look the descriptions for the prefix,
endings, and substring algorithms. The substring algorithm is the
most general, but it is also time consuming.

I would assume that the substring algorithm would work for this
case.

I wasn't aware of numbers being treated any differently in this
regard. Perhaps you need to increase the excerpt_length attribute?

>4.   how can we set the search will include a phrase...   "cw technology"
>or "Exxon Mobil"?

Phrase searches are not supported in the 3.1.x versions; the 3.2.x
betas do include support for phrase searches.
