To reproduce:
(1) Set your search preference to "Search for files by file name"
(2) Type Control-F to bring up Find widgetry
(3) Type "this  html" (two spaces between words) and hit the <Return> key
(4) Note that the search criteria string in the sidebar says

search:[file:///]file_name contains this & file_name contains & file_name
contains html

There are two problems here: (1) The first part of this string is the
supposed-to-be-behind-the-scenes search URI format instead of English; (2) It
thinks there are three words involved of which the middle one is zero-length
("contains & file_name").

It should ignore the doubled space and say the same thing it would if the search
had been for "this html" (single space), which is:

Items containing "this in their names and containing "html" in their names.

See also bug 47619, which suggests alternate wording for these multiple-word
searches.
