Comment (by 369work):

 Tested the patch on a local WordPress trunk installation.

 Results:
 - "multibyte" → WP Multibyte Patch found ✅
 - "multi byte" → WP Multibyte Patch found ✅
 - "multi-byte" → WP Multibyte Patch found ✅
 - "multi" → Too many results (5000+) to confirm, but no regression
 observed
 - "multi patch" → Not found ❌ (expected, as the API does not support
 multi-token matching)

 The patch works as intended for the core use case (space/hyphen
 normalization).
 The "multi patch" case would require server-side improvements, which is
 out of scope for this ticket as noted in the description.
