  // To improve searching for numerical data such as dates, IP addresses
  // or version numbers, we consider a group of numerical characters
  // separated only by punctuation characters to be one piece.
  // This also means that searching for e.g. '20/03/1984' also returns
  // results with '20-03-1984' in them.
  // Readable regexp: ([number]+)[punctuation]+(?=[number])

  // The dot, underscore and dash are simply removed. This allows meaningful
  // search behavior with acronyms and URLs.

  // marks, spacers, etc, to be a word boundary.
