It is strange that you apparently see it looking at the end
as

   Splitter("abcd/bcde/cdef") = ["abcd/bcde/cdef"]

i.e. it should only look at the complete URL.


Probably, you should not use a textindex for your purpose,
as it does not split at '/'.
You should go for a keyword index. It expects a sequence
of keywords rather than a string.
Thus, you should replace "absolute_url" by "getPhysicalPath".

This will probably work nice, unless you use virtual hosts.
