Re: Dash Confusion in QueryParser - Bug? Feature?

[Michael Giles]

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).

1. +1s were from non-developers
2. The change looked like it would not be backwards compatible. (see
the original email from Victor)
It is also better if patches are added to Bugzilla.
