There are several issues here.... 1> How are you getting the entity reference? You must be encoding the stream (or getting it encoded for you). So the first thing I'd do is un-encode it. 2> After that, it's a question of what Filters/Analyzers you're using. Take a look at ISOLatin1AccentFilter. I'm unclear whether it "closes up" the case you're looking at, so be sure to check. 3> Since my peculiar situation can't use the Filter (the character set I'm using isn't standard), I've pre-processed the input (both at index and query time) to substitute the empty string for the apostrophe
