Researching further: Results from htdig -vvvv indicate that the word "woman" is indexed, not "womans" A search for "women's" (note the e) returns a hit. I looked in the ispell dictionary file english.0 and the listings for the two words are: woman/MY women/MS Is it the case that Htdig reduces the search word "woman's" to "womans" which doesn't register a hit because "woman" is recorded in the database and "womans" is not a valid extension of "woman"? I use the setting: valid_punctuation: .-_/!#$%^&'() Need help with this. thanks Ad ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: FREE SSL Guide from Thawte are you planning your Web Server Security?
