Your problem may be the use of Text Indices. These use the voabulary, which handily strips out digits when indexing :-(

I did not know that.

The way to get around it would be to use a Field Index...

...of course, then you can't use globbing matches like that, so there's no real solution :-(

Yeah, the globbing vocab. is pretty necessary. " Keyword Indexes index a sequence of objects that act as 'keywords' for an object. A Keyword Index will return any objects that have one or more keywords specified in a search query." Does this mean you have to specify (where) what the predetermined keywords are?

Can only suggest mailing Chris P and asking him, as he was last to do some serious routing in the Catalog code...

Any clues here?

Sorry I couldn't be more help...
