Re: Searching URL with a hyphen From T J Daniels at ''POETRY'' by: T. J.

From what I've read, to the SE's, the hyphen is just another space. Which means that dog-food is seen as two words. Some poeple use the underscore ( _ ) to separate words. One negative using the underscore, it gets lost in a hypertext link. TJ
