The content has the dash in it and I was wondering two things, If there is a way to have 9299 return matches. And if there is a way to have this query return partial matches: reflective tape 9299.
"Reflective tape" returns many matches but add that third term (that does not exist) and zero matches.
You might look at the "Ignore Characters" setting. It lists characters which should be removed from the text and query. These might be punctuation that is optional. An example might be - for part numbers, phone numbers, etc. Care should be taken not to remove important characters which you may want to delimit words.
Is this a controlled vocabulary? Or just any 2 random strings attached or not? If the vocabulary is controlled you might consider setting up a thesaurus to make "plc5" a synonym for "plc 5", etc.
I have read all the documentation and cannot find out how to upload a thesaurus. figured it was like the XSL style sheet but do not find that to be true.
