You could have just said, "I don't know," referring to you.

You need to stop thinking with your brain when you use a search engine- you understand it your way and it doesn't necessarily match the way the programs were written.
Good observation and the basis of the question.
Be as specific and literal as possible- more search criteria makes the search faster and more accurate,
But do more search criteria include more responses or exclude more responses? Does searching for "Roku- 4" give or not give "Roku-4" as a response?
BTW, this is totally academic now.
but only for your purposes- the program doesn't care.
What does that mean?
If omitting the space in your example doesn't work, it requires a few seconds to add it- what are you searching for, aside from the name 'Roku 4'?
If I don't KNOW that omitting the space doesn't work, how do I tell if the search is telling me that no response without a space exists, as opposed to one existing but omitted by the way the search engine works?
It's been four years, so I don't remember the details. However, the reason this question even came up is that I was searching for, say, a designation of "Roku 4" in a manual... and I search for exactly that, being "as specific and literal as possible..." only to find no response since I had seen "Roku 4" in a piece of literature on the device but the manual has, instead, "Roku-4" and gives no response to a search for Roku-4.
