Ok, a little more info.  I'm using a spider+indexer to index my wiki, and some 
other sites as well:  http://www.sphider.eu/

It finds the pages with IP addresses as well, and indexes them. However, it 
also returns zero results when I try to search for IP addresses.
I realize this is beyond the scope of the list, but it is a bit peculiar.   
Actually, it's kinda annoying.  :)
I installed the sphider and database on a new CentOS 6.3 install, so MySQL 
should be current.

Thanks for the replies!
