can't search for single quotes

can't search for single quotes

mfaheymfahey Posts: 1Questions: 1Answers: 0

If I try to search for O'brien it does not find it. It does not work using single quotes.

If I start typing O it does find and display O'brien but searching using a single quote does not find any results.

Any suggestions?

    @mfahey - which key are you using for your single quote?
    I have numerous instances of users of my database app not finding text which contains a single quote, although the data is definitely there.
    My data consistently uses the single quote found on the same key as the @ sign on a standard English qwerty keyboard. I haven't managed to find out what key is being used when data is not found.
