Issue Tracking Info

• [ ] I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

This is expected behavior of the Lunr search engine used by Bitwarden. It treats a hyphen (-) as a space, and does not allow searching for exact phrases. Thus, your search will find every item that contains the letter T as well as every item that contains the word mobile. Items that contain more instances of these terms will be placed higher in the search list.

Hi there, bwbug is correct, the Lunr search is causing the behavior you are seeing. If you want to search solely for T-Mobile, you can search the following: >+name:T-Mobile More information on this topic can be found here: https://bitwarden.com/help/searching-vault/#wildcards-and-advanced-search-parameters

@jtodddd For your edification, and to set the record straight, your work-around suggestion is incorrect:

If you want to search solely for T-Mobile, you can search the following: >+name:T-Mobile

The above search will find every entry that contains the letter T in the item name (e.g., T-Rex Racing, Mr. T, or My-T Tas-T Ice Cream). Items that also contain the word "mobile" in any of the searchable fields will be ranked more highly in the search results, but there is no guarantee that the "T-mobile" entry will be at the top of the search results.

This is because Lunr essentially treats the hyphen character (-) like a space character.
