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. >2. same for numbers.... i.e. for: 12342-5684 I want to enter a search >value of "342" >and want to get all the values that include the "342" I would assume that the substring algorithm would work for this case. >3. when we search for numbers the return result does not bring the value >bank only the link. >in text... the link & the contents is retrieve... can we do the same for >numbers? 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.
