Yes it can. I accidentally discovered this ages ago when was highlighted "Buffalo Soldier" to look up via google. And I've just read a badly edited short story that had "under stand", "girl friend" and a few other split words like this. In each case, it displayed the "can't find the word, but this is the closest match" and displayed the word without the space. The problem is the dictionary. The Kobo dictionary does not have "bête noire" in the dictionary. It is generally accepted that the dictionary Kobo have is no where near as good as on the Kindle. Kobo uses a Merriam-Webster dictionary and I suspect it is the smallest that they publish.
If you want to test this, use the search and change to the dictionary. Start typing a term you think will be there and it will show the matches. For example, if you type "buffalo", six two word matches.
