Details

Sphinx treats "-" as part of its extended syntax even when it appears in the middle of a hyphenated word. To make queries correctly, one must replace it with "\-" (e.g.: "marque-page" returns the same results as "marque -page", and "marque\-page" seems to get the right result set). We should do this automatically if the hyphen is not preceded by whitespace, e.g.: s/(?<=\S)\-/\\-/

Verified search queries do not treat '-' as a special character, able to search and find correct results with and without it.
