Feature request in broad numeric matching

[Tapio]

In very big numbers for easy reading it is common to divide the digits in groups (of three, typically) with a delimiter, which can be a space, comma, hyphen etc.
What is missing in Zoom, is support for a space as a delimiter. Space is recommended in many international standards, institutions and associations. This (SI style) is already commonly used in dozens of countries /languages (not to list in here). The same practice in grouping of numbers applies also on phone numbers.

When space is used as a delimiter, it can be a normal space, thin space or a non-breaking space (nbsp). Nbsp is recommended, when available. This prevents line break in the middle of a long number. Nbsp is available at least in html, .doc and .rtf files. Example (ten million) in SI style: 10 000 000.

At the moment, if you are using a regular space character, then 10 000 000, would be indexed as three sperate words (and two unique words).
10
000 (2 instances).

Searching in the same format (with spaces) will give a hit. But searching in a different format (e.g. with a comma separator, or no separator) will not give a hit.
Comma separator (and European dot separator) is handled better and you can search with different styles and get a match.

So yes, it could be better.

We'll make a note of the request. If we get a few people asking for it we can take a look at it.
