Word delimiters in Windows Search (Explorer window)

In Windows 7 I would use underscores and hyphens as word delimiters in filenames... e.g.:
2019-11-24_Letter-from-IRS.pdf

and I could find such a file by typing in the Search box of the Explorer window:
name:2019 name:11 name:IRS

However, it looks to me as if in Windows 11 the hyphen is no longer counted as a word delimiter and so this would not find this file.
Is there any way of re-enabling the hyphen as a word separator?
