Hi, Erik,
Thank you very much for taking the time to do this. I may have mentioned, I'm evaluating search engines and am implementing a subset of the features that we'll need eventually. This will help greatly.
Thanks, Jim.

I've seen some discussion on this and the answer seems to be "write your own". Hasn't someone already done that by now that would share? I really have to be able to include numeric and alphanumeric strings in my searches. I don't understand analyzers well enough to roll my own.
This is more involved than just keeping numbers around... or at least there are more steps to consider. Do you want the alpha characters lower-cased, which is the typical behavior so that searches are case-insensitive. What about punctuation characters? Generally these get tossed, however there are cases where that is not desired either.
(Snip excellent response)
