I've read/heard similar stuff too. If that were the case though I
would assume camel cased words would be even worse - since it would be
seen as a single long word, but (using some key words from a recent
blog).:
http://www.google.com/search?q=making+the+most+of+the+router
http://www.google.com/search?q=router+making+most (word order of
little importance)
http://uk.search.yahoo.com/search?p=making+the+most+of+the+router
http://uk.search.yahoo.com/search?p=router+making+most (word order of
little importance)
return almost the same results (my blog site is in page 1 of each of
those searches at the time of writing). I noticed that if you delete
one character from the end of any search term the results are vastly
different, so it seems to me that word boundaries are detected for
camel case words quite easily also.
IMO SEs are camel/dash/underscore/etc. aware and therefore it
shouldn't make any difference but as I'm not a SE developer: "purely
IMO" :).
