mminfo versus metamorph index search

Good morning. When we search "public private" or "public-private" we're finding "public, private" -- disregarding the punctuation.

That is the behavior we want, but when we use mminfo to get the keyword hits, it does NOT disregard the punctuation. So we find some documents with no "hits" found.

I assume this is because mminfo is operating off the actual text of the document, whereas the LIKE query is is working from the metamorph inverted index.

Is there a way we can make the mminfo as lax as the metamorph query -- i.e. disregarding punctuation too?

That's correct. You'd have to replace - with * to get what you want from mminfo, at the risk of getting extra matches like "public. Secure private".
