Does the text index search ignore numbers such as 3572 by default?  If so I
guess I would have to make up a custom word list to include numbers?

Looking in the OLH they're not in the Include Characters list so I guess not.

Yes, numbers are excluded by default.

Tim  - I noticed there is a Delphi project for a Word List dll.  Is this what I would need to do to create a word list that accepts numbers?  Do
you have a sample?  Also how do I register the dll?  Does it need to be placed in a special directory or do I use RegSvr?

Thanks

Scott


For samples have a look in the extensions ng I've posted some there - nothing to do with numbers though.

The dll's have to be in the same directory as the config file and you register them with sql like

IdxMaker.SQL.Add('EXECUTE IMMEDIATE');
IdxMaker.SQL.Add(QuotedStr('CREATE TEXT FILTER "RTFStripper" TYPE ''RTF'' MODULE "StripRTF"') + ';');
IdxMaker.SQL.Add('EXECUTE IMMEDIATE');
IdxMaker.SQL.Add(QuotedStr('CREATE TEXT FILTER "HTMLStripper" TYPE ''RTF'' MODULE "PosExStripHTML"') + ';');
IdxMaker.SQL.Add('EXECUTE IMMEDIATE');
IdxMaker.SQL.Add(QuotedStr('CREATE WORD GENERATOR "wgStandard" MODULE "wgPreFiltered"') + ';');
IdxMaker.SQL.Add('EXECUTE IMMEDIATE');
IdxMaker.SQL.Add(QuotedStr('CREATE WORD GENERATOR "wgLookupList" MODULE "wgLookupList"') + ';');

Roy has posted some stuff to the Extensions newsgroup here:

<< Also how do I register the dll?  Does it need to be placed in a special

Just stick it in the TEDBEngine.ConfigPath path and then use this SQL
statement to make it available to the configuration:

http://www.elevatesoft.com/scripts/manual.dll?action=mantopic&id=edb1sql&category=10&topic=126

The module name is the root name of the .DLL that you create, and will
automatically be populated in this table when you start your application:

http://www.elevatesoft.com/scripts/manual.dll?action=mantopic&id=edb1sql&category=3&topic=42

You can view this table very quickly in the ElevateDB Manager under the
right-hand task links for the selected session object in the left-hand
treeview.
