google hyphens

Does anyone know how to google for hyphenated keywords? If you google "a-b", you get everything with "a-b" but also everything with "a b", which is sometimes an annoyance.

Thanks.

Did you try escaping them with a backslash?

For instance, try searching for "prefetch" and then searching for "pre\-fetch"
