A field or keyword index would work.  Or you can make a very small
change to splitter.c to stop it from ignoring numbers.

Which is something I'd like to see as a standard feature of Catalog,
actually.  I can't think of any instances of using a text index
where I did *not* want words with numbers indexed, and have a number
of instances where I *do* want words with numbers indexed.  Actually,
the same applies to pure numbers, as well.
