Word split between two lines is not found in man pages search

I'm on Linux Mint 21 (Ubuntu based). Just noted man pages internal search (/) does not find a word if split between two lines (the word is whole in the source of the page, displayed with a hyphen and indentation). I was very surprised. Any remedies? Web search did not find this issue in top results, maybe it is rare, even a glitch on my system? Could I disable word splitting as a workaround? Completely? If not, for specific lines in roff code? E.g. man mpv.1 (sup‐ ported.) > DESCRIPTION > mpv is a media player based on MPlayer and mplayer2. It supports a wide variety of video file formats, audio and video codecs, > and subtitle types. Special input URL > types are available to read input from a variety of sources other than disk files. Depending on platform, a variety of different > video and audio output methods are sup‐ > ported. Source: > \fBmpv\fP is a media player based on MPlayer and mplayer2.
