I can't search for -finalized

If I search Code Golf Codidact for "finalized" there are results, showing that the word "finalized" is one of the words the search recognises.- ![Search results for finalized]
- However, if I search for "-finalized" there are no results, even though the results for "finalized" were only a small subset of the total posts.
- ![No search results when excluding finalized]
I've found the same behaviour with other words, such as "integer", "string", "number". They all work fine as standard searches, but don't work when trying to exclude them with a hyphen. This seems to affect all recognised words.- Multiple exclusions also do not work, such as "-integer -string".
- Using a hyphen to exclude a term does work if a standard (not excluding) term is used before it, such as "integer -string". It also works the other way around, such as "-string integer".
- Is it intended that search terms featuring only exclusion be usable?
