Hi Rick,
Actually, I believe there might be a solution to this – using the index table engine.
It may not solve every case, but I designed the indexing process to recognize certain special characters – and words with dashes and dash-like characters are indexed both as a whole, as well as without the dashes, as well as words separated by space where the dashes were.
I highly recommend trying that, it may do the trick to some degree:
– 1. Generating the index table
– 2. Enabling the index table
I hope this helps 🙂
