So how do we move this issue forward. I can't think of a single case where a "-" with no whitespace on either side (i.e. t-shirt, Wal-Mart) should be interpreted as a NOT command. Is there a feeling that changing the interpretation of such cases is a break in compatibility? I agree that it will change behavior, but I think that it will change it for the better (i.e. fix it). The current behavior is really broken (and very frustrating for a user trying to search).
I agree. Bugfixes are rarely backwards-compatible by their very nature. So if there is some actual use-case for the current behavior, we would like to hear about it. Perhaps we can then find a solution that will satisfy all parties.
