Hi,  
I have two docs:

1. Word:"apple-apple "
2. Word:"apple-carrot"

And i want this way:  
1When i type: "apple-apple" see only apple-apple  
When i typing "apple" see both  
And when typing "apple carrot" see only apple-carrot  
Is it possible?  
I try wordelimitre indextime and get only  
'Apple-apple',apple,apple ,appleapple  
Apple-carrot,apple,carrot,applecarrot  
How i can here change hyphen to space?  
Just get apple-apple,apple apple,apple,apple)

Did you look at the prefix query, if possible ?
