Headlines will line-break in the middle acronyms like 'U.S.' #113

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Search for Palestine
2. Look at the first search result
3. Note the headline line-breaks in the middle of U.S.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The app should treat acronyms the same as single words an break either before 
or after but not in the middle of them.

There may be other similar cases, but I have not yet uncovered any.

Assigning these to you.

The only approach I can think of to fix this would be to take over the line 
breaking code and try to handle this on our own.  I think the LOE and potential 
for problems would far outweigh the benefit.  I'd suggest we label this won't 
fix unless someone has a better idea.
