I ran across some weird behavior searching for a book. A search for Reality Is Not What It Seems results in:
Search found 0 matches
Search term used: Reality Is - What It Seems

Hrmm, looks like the search interpreted "Not" as a Boolean modifier. I wrapped the search in quotation marks and got the following. (Adding a '+' at the front to try to force the issue gave the same results.)
Search found 0 matches
Search term used: "Reality Is - What It Seems"

On a whim I tried wildcarding out the problem area:
Search found 2 matches
Search term used: Reality Is * What It Seems

This behaviour reminds me a lot of code changes I have made made that exposed new, interesting, untested edge cases.

Not an issue, I'm just leaving this so when some actually problematic new, interesting, untested edge cases pop up someone might remember this and connect the dots.

Actually only noticed yesterday that 'or' is also a problem in a book title, throwing up far too many results. In the end I resorted to missing the word out entirely.
