API search changes?

Hi Travis!
I was wondering if there's been a change in the API movie search recently? Specifically, I'm referring to queries without hyphens when the real title includes hyphens - i.e. searching for "The ChangeUp", expecting to get results for "The Change-Up".
This is something that used to work, but it doesn't seem to do so anymore. Any comments on that?

I didn't change this on purpose but I think I know why it changed.
I've already applied the fix so it will be fixed on the next deploy and reindex (probably another 24 hours).

That's excellent! I always appreciate your fast support and (even faster) actions. Thanks a lot! :-)

Hi again!
Just thought I'd let you know that it doesn't seem to have been pushed / fixed yet. Can you confirm this at your end?

Yup, it started working about 15 hours ago, I think :-)
Thanks!
