If a user writes a query "Apples & Oranges" the word delimiter filter factory will change this into "Apples Oranges" Which isn't very useful for me as I'd prefer especially when the phrase is wrapped in quotes that the original is preserved. However I still want to be able to separate Apples&Oranges into Apples & Oranges so preserveOriginal isn't really useful. What I really would like to be able to do is tell WordDelimeterFilter to treat it like it's neither alpha nor numeric, however that doesn't mean that you remove it completely.
Thanks for your help Stephen
