Title:
  Elastic Search does not find items with white space in title

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Mahara: 1.8.1testing (with MySql DB), 1.9.0dev (with PostGres DB)
  OS: Linux
  Browser: Firefox 25.0

  When a group, file, name, etc has a '-' (hyphen) in it, the elastic
  search's "clean_query" stips special characters away.

  For example, the following groups are created:
  group 123
  group_123
  group-123
  group123

  1. If the user searches for:
  group-123

  it will find:
  group123

  Which is the wrong group.

  
  2. If the user searches for:
  group_

  it will not find anything.  It should find group_123? (it does if a *
  is added to the end of the search).

  
  3. if the user searches for:
  group

  it will find all four groups. Which doesn't make sense since it
  couldn't find 'group_' above in example 2.

  
  4. If the user searches for:
  group-

  it finds all four groups.

  
  It appears inconsistent and confusing to the user.

  
  I believe there is also an issue when a space is in the name (i.e. title). But, I can't quite put my finger on it.
