X-Windows, or X Windows, but not Windows

Post by Thunderstone »



Hi. I'm trying to index a group of sites so that a search on "X Windows"
can pull out X Windows or X-Windows without pulling out Windows.

Any ideas on how to form the index and/or the search terms?

You need to reindex, allowing single letter terms
gw -unindex
gw -k"\alnum{1,30}"

By default, it's ignoring the X because it is not indexed and would
require post processing to locate. Postprocessing is disabled by default.
