Is there a way to specifically add ".NET" or "C++" so that they WILL be
indexed inside of word or rtf docs?

Or is there a replacement IFilter that will do it?

not really. .Net will be indistinguishable from net or .Net. C++ will be
indistinguishable from C++, C#, C!, or C.

I created a seperate column in my database to store a tokenised version of
the column I wanted to index, with ".net" replaced with "dotnet", and "C++"
replaced with "cplusplus". When someone types in words to search like
"visual basic .net" I then pass "visual basic dotnet" into my search
function. It requires more storage, but at least it works, and disk space is
cheap :)
