The index expressions are associated with a specific index, and different indexes on the same table could have different index expressions. You can run the Unix strings command on the INDEXNAME_P.tbl file to get an idea of the parameters used for that index.
Thanks for the prompt response. actually the problem which I was facing that is one of the tables i am not able to retieve any results if the user is using special character like "_" or "." in their search query so I was trying to look into the index expression. this what it looks like:
I tried to look into the other table in which special characters are working that has the same index expression. Can you please let us know what can be the possible cause for this behaviour.
upon looking into the search behaviour here is what i have noticed
if the file name is "installation_of_jre_1.5.ppt" and i put same thing in query it does return the result. but
if the file name contains special character and also has white spaces in between then it does not return result e.g
if filename is "cdhc portal.xls" and I use the same as query word then it does not give back the result.
what can be the cause. Can you please help

Can't tell from that where one expression starts and the next one starts. Please provide the full SQL of your index create statements and search queries.
Also check for warnings or errors in the source of the search results page and/or vortex.log.
The index expressions will index the filename as a whole, including the punctuation, and the non-punctuated pieces, so the query should either be exact, or contain no punctuation. E.g.
I don't see any problem with those settings.
What's the index create SQL?
What's the query SQL?
What's the output of "texis -version"?
Do you get any warning or error messages in html comments on the search results page? Or in vortex.log?
