Subject: [htdig3-dev] Searching phrase containing apostrophe

Hello,
I have beta 2 here and am looking at the new features. I tested the phrase "parkinson's disease" and got some odd results. I think the phrase code isn't handling the apostrophe properly.
Match counts:
205 for "parkinson's disease"
7 for "parkinsons disease"
0 for "parkinson's"
7 for "parkinsons"
205 for "disease"
7 for parkinson's
I'm guessing that the parser doesn't take out the apostrophe within a phrase so it doesn't match any words, but then why does "parkinson's disease" match all the disease pages? Any ideas?
