Impossible to search for a “word-composed” with dash/hyphen(-) without quote it.

When trying to search for the word

add-in in my notes, I get all the notes with the add word subtracting all the notes with the word in

 

I know the symbol minos (-) before a word is to take the following word out of the results but for god heavens, not when the minus is part of a word with no spaces before the minus sign.

 

For the search to trough the right results, I have to quote the word which is very annoying

“Add-in”

 

It should work like this

Add-in (With no spaces) find all the notes containing string “Add-in”

Add -in (With space before minus sign) find all the documents that contain Add but not the word in.
