Yes, it thinks the . is white space, so your search is done on 42 55 14 1 2.
Matches will be to 42 55 14 1 2 or 42!55!14!1!2, in other words any non
alphanumeric character between the numbers will yield a match.
however, I am unable to repro your problem. Can you tell me what version of
SQL you are running, and the version of the OS, also please issue the
following query and tell me what you get.
select @@language.
What word breaker are you using?

Thanks for your quick answer!
well I am using English (USA) as word breaker, but most of the text is
in portuguese ! (is that a problem?)
about the version, see below
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.760 (Intel X86) Dec 17 2002
14:22:05 Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation Enterprise
Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 1)
what do you suggest me to deal with that situation?..
thanks

Are the documents stored in the image data type column? Are there any html
tags in the content?

Hi again..
well, I have 2 tables in my catalog
Table 1: one (only text) field indexed
Table 2: One binary field indexed
about html text....not in the text field (table 1), but i am not sure
about Table 2, because users can include html files in the binary
field....
well, any help to deal with the period ('.') would be apreciated....
thanks
Alberto
