Currently it is not possible and it is not normal... I do not know if
QDBM (which stores file names associated with keywords) can be set to
split string like "ziegler-nichols" into "ziegler" and "nichols"
automatically for searching or if we need to split strings ourselves.

What I also dislike with libstemmer (which aims to "reduce" strings to
radicals to ignore plural for instance) is that it does not ignore
accentuated characters, so if I have a file which contains "éléphant",
then "élephant" or "elephant" will not be found. "éléphant" is the
correct orthography but it happens very often that french people miss
some accents or add superflus ones... and it is the same problem in
other languages.


Laurent.
