Just some more info to add to your bug report.

I'm finding quite a bit of weird behaviour for usernmes with hypens.

Searching submissions by author=spez returns results for author =i-am-spez

Put any username with hyphens in, it seems to split the username at the hyphen and return results for other usernames with the individual "words" in their username. But only (I think) when their username is *also* contains hyphens...

Example, searching for submissions by "five-six-seven-eight" (not a real user currently) returns submissions for all users with any of the words five, six, seven, or eight when separated by hyphens:
