How to search for strings with hyphens in

[claremacrae]

Background

A lot of my files have a pattern space-hyphen-space in, and so I often copy-and-past bits of filenames, and use them in this plugin's search.

It seems that the plugin interprets hyphen (-) as a special character, and so does not find the files.

Example

For example: searching for obsidian - my:

If I change the search to obsidian my it finds loads of things - but in fact it was the file marked in red that I wanted to open, so all the other ones are unwanted...:

Question

Is there a way to disable the plugin's special treatment of hyphen (-) and have it just be one of the characters searched for, please?

Hi, @claremacrae :)

Is there a way to disable the plugin's special treatment of hyphen (-) and have it just be one of the characters searched for, please?

Unfortunately, the plugin currently does not have such an option. However, replacing the special treatment of hyphens with another character could be a useful feature, so I will consider implementing it.👍
