Are you sure you don't have Soft Hyphens hiding throughout your text?
Soft Hyphens are an invisible character that only turns into a hyphen when it reaches the end of a line.
A telltale sign of Soft Hyphens is when you get red squigglies on words that are spelled correctly... and/or when your search gets broken.
See some of my posts on this (explaining why Soft Hyphens are awful + problems that may occur):

Did you accidentally run Calibre's "Hyphenate This!" plugin?
What you want to do is Find/Replace for the Soft Hyphen character, and remove them all.
One easy way to do this is to go into Sigil:
1.
Tools > Reports > Characters in HTML Files
If you scroll through the list, you might see:
Code:
Character: <----- (It looks like a hyphen, but it's actually an invisible character.)
Decimal: 173
Hexadecimal: AD
Entity Name: shy
Entity Description: soft hyphen
Double click on that row, and Sigil should insert a:
\ + Soft Hyphen
into the Search box.
2. Make sure the
Replace: box is completely blank.
3. Change
Mode: to "Regex".
4. Press
Count All to see if there are any hits.
5. Press
Replace All.
That should wipe all Soft Hyphens out of your book. Now you should have no problem with your normal searches.
