[Mediawiki-l] Full Text Search - logical description needed

[Uwe Baumbach]

Hi,

is there a comprehensive, reliable, more profound description of the logical steps the internal search engine (or parser before the engine) undertakes to define:
- what is recognized as a single word in an entered search string (blanks - OK, but what about slash, back slash, hyphen, period?) ?
- what are "similar words" (closeness of words) ?

Different sources (www.mediawiki.org, xy.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Search, ...) tell more or less and then different things too. 
:-(

Thank you all around - who helps.
