Search Advise Please :-)

Hi Y'all,
I have a LOAD of amazing spider-mans listed, yet type amazing spider-man into the MAIN search box and none of mine show up??

Please advise what I have done wrong.

If you type in amazing spider then they show, but if you type in amazing spider-man then they don't.

Very strange

If I was you I would take out the hyphon

But as Stan Lee will tell you, he's Spider-man and NOT spiderman (Its a geek thing)

Can The Guys make the hyphen work??

I've just tried looking for my X-Files listings and sure enough, unless you take out the hyphen they don't show up .

In most searches hyphen is a minus sign, so means look for what's before the sign, but not what's after it. If you want to search for anything including a hyphen, then put the whole search phrase in quotes.

Same with The X-Files - any fans will only put 'X-Files' in the search.

Well as this is in the glitchs section I would just leave it here with a view to it being fixed.
