Our search autocomplete pulls from doc titles, some of which contain en or em 
dashes. However, if the dash is "floating"- i.e.: "Venue - Motion to Transfer" 
- search:parse parses it into the query, even though 
<term-option>punctuation-insensitive</term-option> is included in the <term> 
section of the search options node. I thought it may just be getting ignored 
when it's evaluated but it's definitely limiting the query.

I can confirm they are punctuation: cts:tokenize("hyphen-en-em-bar―")[. 
instance of cts:punctuation] => "- - - ―"

But is there an exception here (the same way hyphens are always parsed to 
negate)? Do I just need to remove these from the query string before calling 
search:parse? If there is a cleaner way, that would be great.


Best,

Will
