Currently it is not possible to add words containing a - as search term for preference pages See for example Bug 527082 in which it was suggsted to add "pop-up" as search term.

This works fine for me. It finds pages when using "pop-up"

Only if you add it as first entry. So the following works:

preferenceKeywords.general= pop-up text

The following does not work for me:

preferenceKeywords.general= text pop-up

Tested in org.eclipse.ui.editors from eclipse.platform.text, via the General -> Editors-> Text Editors preference page for text editors:
----
preferenceKeywords.general= pop-up text editor tabs spaces undo history ruler overview hyperlink overwrite colors range indicator typing appearance derived navigation smart caret positioning invisible whitespace characters drag drop dnd hovers popup sticky enrich rich
----
