Hyphenated or Double Barrelled Names

Hope this is the right place to ask. Does Genes Reunited search facility except hyphenated or double barrelled last names. I cannot seem to find a King-Britton or King Britton anywhere during a search. I have been assured by my father that Britton is spelt correctly so I am at a bit of a loss.
Is there a particular way of putting in a H or DB name??
Any help is appreciated.

I was thinking more about the "Search Record" facility rather than the "Search Tree"...

Saw your input, thanks for your info. Britton seems to be the real name here. I am wondering where the "King" crept in??

Thanks Jim.....so Ancestry is the place to search and not Genes R.
