Person search requires middle name

When connected to my enterprise environment Exchange server, why do I have to know a person't middle name to search for them?

If I want to search for the user whose full name is "Bob Anders Johnson" without the knowledge of their middle name, on pretty much any other search system, you can type in: 

"Bob Johnson" and results will arise including the desired result.

"Bob" produces all Bob X X names. There's about a hundred... too many!

But if I type in "Bob Johnson" no results... as it's trying to match a middle name of Johnson. WTF?!?!

I guess if I'm crafty, I could search for the last name, but that's silly if there's a lot of Johnsons, as there would be no way to hone the search after typing in the last name...

I don't know Bob's middle name, why does Outlook & Exchange require me to?
