And ... it seems that the answer is that you can't! Google treats hyphens as word-breaks in the source material. Seems like a bug, but it's the way it's designed.

An old query for something very similar: https://support.google.com/websearch/thread/3544867?hl=en

And ... I checked and there are very similar problems with both Bing and DuckDuckGo.

It seems like a bug that should be fixed, either at Google or one of their competitors
