Is it possible to make search ignore certain characters?

Is it possible to make the search system ignore certain characters?

So if someone searched for test-product it would be the same as searching for testproduct

Re: Is it possible to make search ignore certain characters?

If the letters are not part of a word it can be done fairly easily. You will need to modify the code to look at the keyword... if the keyword is "!" then make it "" or something like that. I would think that if the character is part of a word it could be done with more programming.

Can anyone help further, perhaps direct me to the file I need to look at modifying?
