depends on what MetaName it's indexed under. Try a simple test document 
containing that word, and/or use the -T option to dump out the index contents to 
see what metaname 'accovia' is being indexed under. If you don't specify one, it 
assumes 'swishdefault'.

if it's only in the docpath, it depends on whether you are indexing / as a 
WordCharacter or not.
