Concerning stove above, we'd still want all of the below, as enumerated in #142, i.e.

  • [ ] stove should match stovepipe
  • [ ] stove-pipe should match stovepipe
  • [ ] stove pipe should match stovepipe

@andrewdotn It appears that the hyphenated (stove-pipe) and spaced (stove pipe) versions of stovepipe do not match stovepipe. Not sure what can be done, potentially in the preprocessing of the search string, nor whether this would be that high a priority.

Another example of this is sunflower (from AEW), which could be spelled also as sun flower or sun-flower.
