I'm not sure if it doesn't have any in the dictionary, or just not very many. If it doesn't have any, it might be best just to pass them in as two separate words.
Anyway, it's currently tripping up on things such as:
well-condensed
semi-stellar
crown-pleaser
well-defined
(Note that separating the input into two words won't catch where someone uses a hyphen and shouldn't, such as "non-descript". Perhaps you could pass the word in first with the hyphen, and if one of the suggestions is the same text without the hyphen, then present those. If not, then throw out the results and re-run it as two separate words?)
Analysis
Problem is that I'm using third-party code. However, I will lean on the vendor for this and other fixes (or ways of overriding existing functionality).
Fixed. Vendor made change so that hyphenated words are treated as two (or more) separate words. The "non-descript" problem is a trickier one to handle.
