CONTEXT Options

I'm running Oracle 7.3.3 with the context option. I have a LONG column that contains ascii text. Within the data is embedded phone numbers with and without embedded formatting (i.e. "123-456-7890" and/or "1234567890").

Searches with CONTAINS '456' would locate the first form only.
Searches with CONTAINS '1234567890' would locate the second form only.
Searches with CONTAINS '123-456-7890' would not locate any rows.

I'm using all default values when I set up my POLICY. Are there any options that I can use to cause searches to be a little more flexible? In the example above, I'd like a search on '456' to return both of those rows as hits.

TIA
