Of course you are correct. 

I did discover the problem. Words captured as a result of an
ExtractPath regex have the same rules applied as any other 
indexed word.

In my case there were 2 unexpected factors at play:

1) I expected to capture 'this_word' from the path
   /path/to/my/site/this_word/file.htm
   but underscores are not included in the default
   WordCharacters. The string was not captured or was
   truncated.

2) If stemming is turned on, this also affects what 
   ExtractPath captures. I expected to capture 
   'relnotes' from the path
   /path/to/my/site/relnotes/file.htm
   but got 'relnot' instead.

For my purposes it would have been better if ExtractPath
stored literal text (not SWISH 'words'), but perhaps in 
most cases this is what people want.

Regards,
Peter
