Literal Delimiter

My system appears to be indexed on two character words and I would like to find the term h.264. What is the best way to construct the query?

I have tried /h\.264 "h.264" or 'h.264' and none seem to work.

I assume you mean your index expression indexes words of 2 or more characters. I'd change the expression to include single letter words too.

View the source of the results page to see warning messages in comments. They should give a clue to the problem. eg it'll probably say linear searching not allowed for your first query.

In checking, it looks like it is indexing on single characters. e.g. if I search for p-type it correctly finds it. However, if I search on h-263 it will find "path 263". What do you think is the problem?

h-263 is the same as phrase "h 263". The digits cause language processing to get turned off so it then is allowed to find substrings.

You could add numerics to the langc and wordc settings.
