Ard,
I have this same problem, however my scenario involves underscores
rather than hyphens. Although since Chris seems to be seeing the same
exact behavior as I was, I imagine we are both stuck on the same issue.
After scouring the forums for the solution, and not seeing your
mentioned solution, I actually posted my problem as detailed as possible
here ( http://markmail.org/message/yh72wqd5b2hbr3j6 ) and received no
response. jcr:like was not an option for me, in this case, as our client
wanted the option for case-insensitive searches. Is there any chance you
could please narrow down where-about the post was which already covered
this? Thanks for your time.

Hello,
You can search the archives (mail from me) for wildcard searching
things related below. There was someone having similar issues. I
explained the wildcard difficulties. Take a look at jcr:like for your
usecases

Hi all,
I'm having some trouble with an XPath query, where I'm searching for users with
hyphens in their name.
I'm using:
jcr:contains(*/*/*,'query')
And it returns some odd results.
I have two users, Sophie-Allen and Sophie-Anne. When I search for 'sophie', I
get back users back. Ok, fine, but if I search for 'sophie-a' (with the hyphen
escaped as 'sophie\-a' as per the JSR-170 Spec) I get zero results returned.
Oddly, if I search for either 'sophie-allen' or 'sophie-anne' I get the
respective user details back fine. Shouldn't I get both users back when
escaping the hyphen? Have I missed something in the spec?
One other odd thing is the addition of an asterisk (*). Searching for 'soph'
and 'soph*' return the same result (both users), but if I search for
'sophie-allen*', I get zero results, unlike when searching for just
'sophie-allen'. Searching for 'sophie-a*' has the same result as without the
asterisk, i.e. nothing.
The JSR-170 spec doesn't say anything (that I can find) but is the asterisk a
wildcard in the jcr:contains function or does it serve some other purpose?
Your assistance is greatly appreciated,
