Take for example one of the randomly generated usernames such as https://www.reddit.com/user/accurate-explorer-43 when applying the filter on the API it returns many results from any other usernames containing a hyphen: https://api.pushshift.io/reddit/comment/search?html_decode=true&after=0&author=accurate-explorer-43&size=100 and it should return none
