How do search engines look at certain words ending in ing, ed, ly?

Hello again.

My original post for this question wasn't worded very well and was confusing. Hopefully, this rewrite will be easier to understand:

I've heard variations on the advantages and disadvantages of using hypenated domain names. One perspective is that search engines like hypenated words because words that are separated by hypens are easier for them to read (I'm talking about one hyphen between two words, not multiple hypens). I've also heard the opposite, and that it's better to stay away from them altogether.

Also, I'm trying to get a clear understanding of how search engines handle compound words, and words that are adverbs, verbs, etc (use of i, e, u, ing, er, ed, ly, etc...). If anyone can point me to a thread or a read for this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.

I dug around on the forum some more and found a couple of really old threads (2003, 2006, and 2007) about the use of hyphens. From reading the comments, it's obvious that hyphens are very controversial. Many factors, many experiences, and many different opinions on the subject. Most of my questions were addressed in the threads, but if anyone has anything more updated to add, I'd be glad to get the info. Thanks again.
