Your are right. It seems that numbers are not indexed at all; only words
are.
This seems to be a bug. If this is actually the case, we'll fix this bug
in the next release of XMLmind XSL Utility, XMLmind XML Editor, XMLmind
DITA Compiler, that is, all our applications which embed XMLmind Web
Help Compiler (http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/whc.shtml).
Also, we have a requirement from our customers to implement partial
searches in the help file. For example, if we search for *org*, the
search results should include the strings *organ*, *organization*, etc.
Seek your help to resolve these issues.
I'm sorry but there is no way to resolve this specific issue because
"Search" simply does not work that way.
"Search" searches for *words*, not for *strings*.
For example, searching for "org" will return a result only if your
document actually contains token "org". (token = string surrounded by
space and/or punctuation.)
On the other hand, using a recent version of XMLmind Web Help Compiler,
searching for "organization" will find pages containing "organization",
"organizations", "organized", etc.
This feature is called full-text indexing and is implemented by all Web
search engines. For example, googling "org" will not result in pages
containing "organ", "organization", etc. Googling "organ" will result in
pages containing "organ", "organs", etc, but not "org" or "organization".
