Just to clarify what's happening here...

When you search for text in the Places list or People list, Reunion is looking for places/people whose name contains words that "start with" the search text.

And it is using the space character as a delimiter to distinguish one word from another.

It's not using a bullet, dash, hyphen, etc. to delimit words; thus it doesn't see a match when you type "astor" in the search box and you have places like "waldorf-astoria."

Yes, that seems to be the way Reunion works, but it would be nice if non-alphabetic characters were also taken into consideration.

You can solve this, however, but placing a space before and after the bullet or hyphen. Waldorf
