There have been many discussions of hyphen versus underscore in file names as it relates to Google. I believe that the consensus is that, for Google, hyphens are the best keyword separator. Any information on how Inktomi and FAST parse file names?

Thanks!

I have found that Ink seems to like hyphens better also. My pages with hyphens seem to do better than the underscores. I don't get enough ATW or Lycos traffic to report on Fast.
