In the newest version including the indexer, there is a general problem when searching for truncated words. I reported this in the Bug-Tracker already some time ago (http://bugs.splitbrain.org/?do=details&id=552). Searching for truncated words gives correct quick hits, but it does not give page hits. This is a major drawback, since searching with truncated words is very common and important. I hope that this will be fixed in the next version. Apart from this problem, the indexed search is really great.

Here's the problem.  I can search for 1 letter (ie: 'B') and I get
results (only page names).  I can search for 1 number (ie: '1') and
get results (page names and acutal pages), but if I search for 'B1' I
don't get results.  I do have B1 in a nuber of pages.. it's the
partial name of some of my servers, so it should show up in my log
page.  I tried searching for 'BH' (another name of a server) and got
no results, yet I know that on some of the pages that exists. I tried
'B1-BH' and that didn't return anything either.

Does the search routine only include more then x number of charectors
for alpha  searches, yet allow any amount of  numbers?

And, does it not take into effect qoutes surrounding a phrase? or hyphens?
