By default, texis includes strings 'between 2 and 99 alphanumeric characters'. What does texis consider to be alphanumeric characters? It is not just [a-zA-Z0-9] (ie. \alnum), is it?

It is \alnum, which is alphanumeric by default. What that means will depend on the locale you have set. If you have a locale set that identifies other characters as alphanumeric they will also be indexed.

Where do I set my locale? Is it a function of texis or of my operating system?

I would assume it is a function of the environment I am working in (operating system), but if so, do you know the definition of a US standard alphanumeric character?

The locale is a function of the operating system environment, and can be changed in Texis with the "set locale=''" command. The standard US/English locale defines the set you gave above as alphanumeric, A through Z upper and lower case, and the digits 0-9.
