Description

Searching on https://new.openml.org/search?type=data&status=active for OpenML-Reg19 returns 24 datasets that I cannot link to the search query. I checked the JSON and XML descriptions, and they do not seem to contain the search string.

I had a hunch that it splits on the hyphen (-) . Indeed searching for OpenML returns the same 24 datasets.

Searching for "OpenML-Reg19" returns 0 datasets.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue using the new.openml.org search URL with OpenML-Reg19, OpenML, and the quoted query, then inspect the search implementation and its handling of hyphens. Compare the returned datasets with their JSON and XML descriptions. Done means hyphenated searches match the full string correctly without changing the behavior of the quoted query.
