      Wiki search does not find terms with - in it

      If wiki titles consist out of characters & minuses, then the search will consider the title to be separate characters instead of a word. For example: anti-thesis is considered two words instead of one. If we have titles that have several minuses, then it becomes more problematic. It will become impossible to search for those because ' The search could not be completed because the search keywords were too short, too long, or too common.'
      It happens that a large number of my articles have minuses in the title.

      The live search (title exact matching) function finds hyphenated titles just fine. This is the only search function that has code written by us to do text/title matching. Otherwise, the search is passed to XenForo's internal search engine as is. If there is a special syntax for searching hyphenated words in XenForo, I don't know it. I tried searching "by-product" with quotes on their official site and only got results for "product".

      Please find out if there is a proper way to search hyphenated terms in XenForo. If there is, we would be happy to pre-parse queries through the wiki search bar so that it complies.

      Just checked and vBulletin automatically treats hyphenated terms as 1 term already, so no special handling is required for that search engine.

      I'm closing this since it can be considered a bug in XenForo's search engine. If you would like this to be resolved, please report the issue to the XenForo devs.
