searching using terms like 'TTY' or 'foo-bar-baz' won't return any results, because the terms are normalized before inserting into the index but not normalized before searching.

we need to run search terms through a normalizing function, which will convert terms to lowercase, split complex terms into multiple simple terms joined with AND, etc.
