Both of these are iOS apps, so that may be a factor. Just discovered #321.

All shells use the space character to separate arguments. You need to either quote multiple words (as your example shows), or escape the spaces between with a backslash \

It may be possible for mas to insert spaces between the arguments you supply before searching, however that feature would be in conflict with others such as #168 and #225

I think this can be closed. I have verified searching for multi-word titles does work.
