Think of it like the Page Title: If a User types in "BestBuy".
Domain BestBuy.com Would match Better than Best-Buy.com because the search string is a single word.

If a user types in "Best Buy"
Domains: BestBuy.com and Best-Buy.com would likely see NO Difference because the URL contains both words even though it is a 2 word Phrase.

But again, the significance in the URL is not something to stress over.

Focus on your Page Title and Meta Description and Inbound Links
how about this scenario:

user types in "big ass" in google

which site ranks higher for "big ass" all else being equal:

bigjoesautoglass.com or really-big-hot-phat-ass.com

?
