Numbers (Digits) in the index

[Rick Parsons]

Simple query - is there a way of keeping them out? I have a site with a lot of internal part codes on the pages which I don't want to search and are bloating the index. I would like to skip any "word" which contains numerics.

In the word skip list you can enter
*1
to skip any word that contains the character "1"

So
*1
*2
*3
*4
*5
*6
*7
*8
*9
*0
Should skip all words with numbers.

In general we don't recommend this. For most sites it doesn't save much space but makes searching harder & less intuitive for the end user.

Thanks - I will try is because the site in question would stand it - at least a trial anyway. There are an awfull lot of numbers in the index and it may make a difference.
