Have just set up Swish-E version 1.1 under Solaris SunOS 5.6.
Most everything seems to be working fine, except that swish-e
does not appear to index text words that are terminated with
a semicolon, e.g. given a page containing the following HTML:
<p>
Control of plant growth: application of exogenous
plant growth regulators; chemical control of plant
height; growth inhibition, retardation, or promotion;
control of plant flowering and fruiting: forcing,
defruiting, deblossoming; abscission promoters; rooting
promotion; chemical or manual pruning: shearing,
thinning, pinching, rejuvenation pruning, topping,
pollarding, plant sculpturing, bonsai, topiary;
plant training: trellising, staking, etc.
</p>
Swish-E does not seem to index the words: regulators, promotion,
deblossoming, promoters, or topiary. All other words from this
excerpt index and retrieve as expected.
Anyone else experiencing this? Is their a fix or workaround,
short of refraining from using semicolons in text?
Thanks for any possible insight.
