		In fact, in basic queries, spaces are ignored (or rather, they are just considered as word separators), so [foo | bar] is the same as [foo|bar]. When using [includes the exact string] (or [then apply advanced filters]), spaces matter (unless you explicitly ignore them in the options popup menu). 
 
If you don't like the choice of em-dash as the separator character (e.g. if you actually want to search for an em-dash character, or if em-dash is not accessible using your keyboard layout), there is a Terminal.app preference to change it: 
defaults write com.ctmdev.FoxTrotShared StringSeparator "SeparatorCharacter"  
I have not tested, but I think you can set a string that includes some spaces: 
defaults write com.ctmdev.FoxTrotShared StringSeparator " — "
