Absolutely.

What we are discussing is whether an apostrophe should be stripped out or not. 
The apostrophe on the keyboard is U+0027. The apostrophe in the Greek is 
recommended to be U+2019. They look nearly the same. There are a few other 
Unicode apostrophes that have the same appearance.

If the apostrophe isn’t stripped out, then the user input and the text have to 
agree on which of the several it is. There is no way for the end user to know 
which. I end up copying from the text to make sure I have the right one.

I believe the same filter that turns on and off the display of accents is used 
for searching. David is suggesting that the filter is taking out legitimate 
level 2 quotation marks from the display when it shouldn’t. I’m suggesting that 
it needs to remove them for the sake of the search.
