Yes I can reproduce this issue too… I believe this is specific to strong and sub inline tags in this case, because that’s what’s splitting up the word… so the search indexer is producing B, 17, -vitamiini separately. It seems like we’re treating all html tags as block level and splitting them up for search. I don’t think this is new behavior? but seems like something we should fix.
