in thread new super search

and typed "-" in the box next to "as spaces"

There is no "as spaces" on super search. There is a field for you to specify what string you want to use as a separator between search terms for which the "default is spaces". So type space, then oh, then en, then space (" on ") as your search term and set the delimter to be anything other than space, oh, or en. Or use the regex "\bon\B".

Yes, I've tested both of these suggestions.

    Or use the regex "\bon\B".

    Hmm, that does 'work'. But what definition of regex are you using? In perlre, it says '\b' should match a word boundary transition, whether its from a word to a non-word or a non-word to a word character transition. So, '\b' should match "abc def ghi" (among other places) both before the "d" and after the "f". '\B' would match the places in between the letters, like between "a" and "b".

    Update:Ahh, ok. it all makes sense now :-)
