[htdig-dev] Multi-word query matches, but the excerpts aren't shown - any fix?

[Jessica B. <jes...@ya...>]

I have a couple documents that have text like this:

   A123-456

I've turned off the punctuation characters in htdig
configuration file.  When I search for: A123-456 I get
an exact match with the excerpt highlighted.  But, if
I search for: "A123 456" I also get a document match,
but the excerpt does not show up.

I am guessing that the reason it is not showing up is
because there is a routine looking for the matching
text header/document to add to excerpt and highlight. 
While the search term does match (both words are
within one word of proximity in the phrase) the
document, the excerpt doesn't.

Can someone help me fix this?  Some of our employees
are searching our parts indexes and get confused as to
why sometimes excerpts show up and sometimes they do
not.  Its so useful to have them show up in the
results page because it helps them save time (knowing
the context of the search query in a document is very
helpful).

I think that the same problem pops up with word
endings (i.e. "test running" would match "tests run"
but an excerpt would not show up unless the query
matched the appearance of hte matching text verbatim).
