Component:  Optimization  |     Version:  2.0.5                                               
 Severity:  normal        |    Keywords:  hyphenate, hyphenation, discretionary hyphen, search

 The W3C and the Unicode Consortium say it: For operations such as
 searching and sorting, the soft hyphen should always be ignored.

 To clarify, a search for “wordpress” should return both “`WordPress`” and
 “`Word­Press`”.

 Personally, I extensively use the Soft Hyphen character (U+00AD, `­`)
 for posts written in German, unfortunately making the text unsearchable.
 It just looks better, even for non-justified alignment.
