You can use your own Analyzer to support special characters. Just process the special characters in your analyzer

For instance, the string P&O is indexed as P&O. The correct entity codes are indexed for all the special characters we use. My question is that a typical user searching for the above will enter P&O but that will not match P&O. I know I could replace & for & but this did not work either and I don't think it's the best solution even if it did. The search String looked like +(headline:&) I would like to extend any functionality to all special chars, for example to single quote (’) They're indexed using StandardAnalyzer Any advice?
