PhpDig.net - View Single Post - How to Include Numbers which occur in names

My site has numerous pages with titles like "Apollo 13", "Gemini 7", "Mercury 6". If a user searches for "Apollo 13" he gets all the "Apollo *" pages but the "Apollo 13" page doesn't get a higher ranking.

If I understand the spider process, this is likely caused by the one and two digit numbers (13, 7, 5) getting left out.

Is there some way I could get numbers such as these included in the indexing? The config.php comments warn against setting the SMALL_WORD_SIZE to anything less than 2.

Thanks for your help and keep up the great work. PHPDIG is a very valuable tool for the small web developer.
