Sphinx index/search for keywords which have dashes or periods

[Russell Ballestrini]

This is a test repo to try out Sphinx index/search with keywords which have dashes or periods, like instance ids, UUIDs, or IP addresses:

https://github.com/russellballestrini/test_sphinx

I found some threads discussing the use of `ignore_chars` to adjust the tokenization of words but I have not found hints on where or how to accomplish this.

http://sphinxsearch.com/docs/current/conf-ignore-chars.html

Where do I configure `ignore-chars` in a project like the repo I linked above?

[Russell Ballestrini]

I think I'm likely conflating these two projects (sphinx search versus Python sphinx docs).

Is it possible to customize the default build-time Sphinx doc's search indexer to treat dashes as part of a word?

Would I need to implement a custom search adapter to change this behavior?

Hi,

>Is it possible to customize the default build-time Sphinx doc's search indexer to treat dashes as part of a word?

It seems there are two ways to install a custom indexer to Sphinx:

* https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/extdev/appapi.html#sphinx.application.Sphinx.add_search_language
* https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/advanced/websupport/searchadapters.html

But I'm not good at how to implement an extension with these endpoints...

I hope you can find a way!

Thanks,
Takeshi KOMIYA
