Full text indexing parentheses and other special characters

How you tell the indexer (SQL 2K with WIN2K) to include () , /, - and all ot
her special characters while generating the index? These characters aren't
in the noise.eng file and I can't seem to figure out how to index them.
The reason we need these characters indexed is because of searches like "4 (
1 1/2)" where only records with the exact phrase should be returned. Current
ly records with 4 1/2 and 4 1 1/2 are being returned as well and we need to
eliminate them.

Currently records with 4 1/2 and 4 1 1/2 are being returned as well and we
need to eliminate them.
