We recently had problems with what looked like apostrophes in reading lists 
published in our various course handbooks. Students were cutting and pasting 
from the reading list into our OPAC but the titles were not being found when we 
knew we held the titles. We found the problem was down to some of the 
apostrophes being the right single quotation mark (U+2019 in unicode) instead 
of the apostrophe (U+0027). In effect what was being handed to our OPAC 
contained a 'spelling mistake'.

I asked our support company: “What do you recommend here? Is there a way of 
telling Koha to see the right single quotation mark (U+2019) as being the same 
as the apostrophe (U+0027)? Indeed if there is, would such an action even be 
sensible?”

They responded: “In theory, it would be possible to map the right single 
quotation mark to apostrophe in the Zebra config files. However, I would be 
reluctant to go down that route, the apostrophe character already causes enough 
pain! […]’

I have no idea how the right single quotation mark is being inserted as the 
various keyboards in our office for use with PCs don’t appear to have key 
offering this character. The character could be input via the Alt-0146 
combination, but I doubt that this method was used by the handbook authors.

Maybe your problem is like ours- that the apostrophes are not all apostrophes. 
Which reminds me… I have to contact our course handbook authors to discuss 
this. I somehow have to explain this and ask them not to use the wrong 
character going forward.

Subject: [Koha] Apostrophe search

Hello,

When we search "Bursa'nın" in Koha, 16817 results come up, but when we remove the 
apostrophe and search as "Bursanın" 19909 results come up.
Why does the apostrophe cause searching anomalies like this in Koha?
There are bugs about the issue which are non-finalised. What should be done for 
the apostrophe does not cause problems in searches?
