I have to back up and correct myself now. In an early development version of the
phrase filter (prior to release) the phrase would not match if the phrase list
contained the '.', so I have had that stuck in memory since. If you have
'microsoft.com' in the phrase list it will match up with 'microsoft.com' or 'microsoft
com' or 'microsoft com'. The '+' is another delimiter just like the '.', so it
is basically ignored if it's in the phrase list. Here are some other characters that
are treated as delimiters: ;:,&.%!{}|?<>[]()"_-+*\~`/=^'$@
