I remember a time when searching for Spider-Man items on eBay was a pain because you had to do a search for "spider-man" and then a second search for "spiderman" to find all the items listed by people who didn't know Spidey's name was hyphenated.
In more recent years, an eBay search for "spider-man" will now pull up all the hyphenated and non-hyphenated auctions together, so kudos to eBay for fixing that problem.
A similar fix here could solve problems like that experienced by the thread starter, but I don't know if its worth the trouble at SHH.
