Thank you--I was thinking about extra_word_characters, but didn't complete
the thought.
So, I add a slash and period to extra_word_characters (I already have the
underscore there). Should I remove these chars from valid_punctuation (as
I've done with the period)? So, my params would be:
extra_word_characters: _/.
valid_punctuation: <the default set, less _/. >
Or, does htdig process valid_punctuation by ignoring, for example,
<period+space>. In that case, I suppose I could have this combination of
parameters, yes?
extra_word_characters: _/.
valid_punctuation: <the default set>
