Word definition need to add .net

Post by jgdoke »

We have a site with products that work with Microsoft's .NET product. Users cannot search on .net and just searching on net brings up wildly different results. Is there a way to either change the word definition or add a best bet for this?? If we change the word definition what will be the downside?
This is current word definition:

[\alnum/\x80-\xff]{1,70}
[\alnum\x80-\xff.]{1,70}>>[.&']=[\alnum\x80-\xff.]{1,70}

Add something like
>>\.=\alpha{1,8}
or
[\alpha\.]{1,70}

The downside of changing the word expression can be increasing the size of the index. Ideally you want the minimal index expression that finds what you want. Usually adding an expression is better than changing one to ensure that existing terms are still found.
