New article creation is not suggested if one of the words in the search term starts with a hyphen. In Finnish, we have some compound terms which contain such words. I guess this clashes with the special meaning of the hyphen in the search syntax. What is the best way to fix the problem? Example: Go to https://fi.wikipedia.org/ and enter "New York -syndrooma" (without quotes) in the search box. Expected result: The search should ask if you want to create a new article. Actual result: https://fi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=New+York+-syndrooma&title=Toiminnot%3AHaku&go=Siirry lists only the search results.
