Not really. I was thinking in some config  directive like:
BumpPositionCounterCharacters  |-()

I have also been working in your lasts posts 
- Get StopWords (SwishStopWords function)
- Open Several Files in SwishOpen
- Do not close the index files after a SwishOpen and
cache the most useful information to get better search 
performance.

Hope to have time to work on these issues during  the weekend ...

Bill, I am also copying this message  to list.
