Hi Niv, I don't believe this behavior has changed recently.
With the Search and Streaming APIs, the following should be true: - "AT&T" should match "AT&T" - track=at%26t - "AT" and "T" should match "AT&T" - track=at,t - "ATT" should/will not match "AT&T" - track=att Were you seeing different behavior than this recently?
