Question about search term involving a hyphen

I have a document with the title:

digIT - Duty of Care Acknowledgement

When I search for digIT - Duty I do not find the document although all three parts (digIT, - and Duty) are part of the title. I do find the document when I omit the hyphen (-); I also find the document when I search for the phrase “digIT - Duty”.

Why’s that? Why do the three parts digIT - Duty not find the document?

You should be quoting the terms. The hyphen is a NOT operator as discussed in Help > Documentation > Appendix > Search Operators.

Makes sense. Now looking carefully through the doco I find it towards the end…

Thanks!
