Search on non-alphanumeric characters

[kevin31]

We need to be able to search on terms such as "C#". The only way we are able to make this work is by making the following apicp settings in Vortex:
<apicp alpostproc 1>
<apicp allinear 1>
However, we expect that this will be too great a performance hit with large amounts of data. How can we make characters such as "#" be indexed the same as alphanumeric chars? Thanks.

See "set addexp" in the manual and other posts here. Basically you want to create an index expression(s) that tell texis how to index what you consider a "word".
