Ok, so it looks like removing spaces around the (— ) character works, but this seems rather odd compared to other syntaxes. I'm pretty sure others are confused by this as well, because other search operators like "|" and "&" are usually separated by space. I suggest we make the em-dash work similar to "|", so that people can put space around them. Or if it's too much work to change the behavior, we should update the Help page so that it's clear how people should use the em-dash when enabling "Multiple Strings". It definitely caused me confusion. Thanks for helping.
