I think this dedicated behaviour of the programmer (who ever wrote the code). I admit it is a limitation but I would not declare it as a bug. What we really need is more more open architecture of the ZCatalog for things like splitters, stemmers etc. I have some ideas in mind but they have not find their place in a proposal.

The answer is - as always - in the sources ;-) The splitting algorithm is pretty dumb. Roughly spoken it splits the text in words but not into numbers. To test the splitter try this:
from ZopeSplitter import ZopeSplitter print list(ZopeSplitter('abc 123 t353 nmj'))
gives ['abc', 't353', 'nmj']

Has there been any thought in changing this behavior? I smell a fish bowl prop...
Amen to the change, but does it really require a proposal? I get the feeling this is leaning seriously towards "bug" territory.
