RE: Symbol matching

The documentation says :
<snip>
Namazu can handle a term which contains symbols like TCP/IP. Since this
handling isn't complete, you can describe TCP and IP instead of TCP/IP, but
it may cause noisy results
</snip>

this doesn't say "search tcp/ip to find both tcp/ip and tcp ip", but (I
think) "Search tcp/ip to find tcp/ip, the system will understand it. Or try
tcp and ip but ..."
Am I wrong ?

But it's documented that tcp/ip will work.  Why doesn't it work as
documented?

I can do that.  My users don't understand regular expressions.  They'll
get scared of stuff like that.  Actually, I want them to be able to
search on something like this:

When are the results of pgdst?

I handle this by stripping words like are, the and of, so the query
becomes:

When results pgdst?

The ? at the end messes things up.  I want the search to check for
pgdst? and pgdst

Any ideas?  I'm thinking of putting the code in myself since it doesn't
seem to be there right now.
