Seems effective when I try:

WordCharacters -0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwzyz

> cat d.txt
First 4d01-4108 last

Ok, so it was indexed as a single word.

Let's try searching:


> ./swish-e -w 4d01-4108 -H 9
# SWISH format: 2.1-dev-25
# Search words: 4d01-4108
..
# WordCharacters: -0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwyz
..
# Search Words: 4d01-4108
# Parsed Words: 4d01-4108 
#
# Number of hits: 1
# Search time: 0.003 seconds
# Run time: 0.043 seconds
1000 d.txt "d.txt" 22
.

Yep, and it's searching correctly:

  # Parsed Words: 4d01-4108 

shows what word swish is searching in the index.
