Cannot find ROLLS-ROYCE by *rolls*

[klebann]

Search term: *roll*:

Search term: *rolls*:

Data (search by name):
{
"id": 3681,
"name": "TROLLER",
"url": "/tecdoc/engine/list/3681"
}
{
"id": 705,
"name": "ROLLS-ROYCE",
"url": "/tecdoc/engine/list/705"
}

Is it normal behaviour? Why it can search for *roll* but not for *rolls* ?

I'm having a similar issue, I can't search names with a space or hyphenated. Can you please allow "Rolls*Royce" to work? Ideally we should be able to do "Rolls Royce" and do an exact phrase search with the enclosed quotes. Its a massive limitation single word searches.

lunr.tokenizer.separator = /[\s\-]+/

one can see that the tokenizer uses any whitespace or dash character to separate words. You could try to change the regular expression to whitespace characters only.

Exact phrase search is on my wish list, too.
