I have a search term "multi-CAD" being issues on tokenized text.  The problem 
is that you cannot get any search results when you type "multicad" unless you 
add a hyphen (multi-cad) or type "multiCAD" (omitting the hyphen, but correctly 
adding the CAPS into the spelling).



However, for the similar but unhyphenated word AutoCAD, you can type "autocad" 
and get hits for AutoCAD, as you would expect. You can type "auto-cad" and get 
the same results.

The query seems to get parsed as separate words (resulting in hits) for 
multi-CAD, multiCAD, autocad, auto-cad and AUTOCAD, but not for multicad. In 
other words, the search terms  become "multi cad" and "auto cad" for all cases 
except for when the term is "multicad".

I'm guessing this may be in part to "auto" being a more common word prefix, but 
I may be wrong. Can anyone provide some clarity (and maybe point me towards a 
potential solution)?

Thanks in advance!
