Comment:

 I apologize for reopening this ticket after the earlier work on it and so
 late in this cycle's enhancement window.

 It seems to me like core could allow a developer working with content
 containing semantically important hyphens to still support search
 exclusions by letting them change the "exclusion prefix" to something
 other than a hyphen.

 Would folks be amenable to a patch that allowed the prefix to be filtered,
 rather than a filter that toggles the whole feature? If so, I'm happy to
 help try to write it. The filter could also support "return false to
 disable" for developers who need it.

 Or, let me know if I'm misunderstanding something.
