    Posted: 01 April 2025 at 3:05pm
Hello!  My site has been using Web Wiz Forums for over 20 years, and one thing that has always been an issue is searching for topic subjects that include an apostrophe or quotation marks.  My developer says that in the MS Access database tables, those punctuation marks are changed to other characters, but then when a search is performed the characters are not changed.  As a result, trying to find a topic subject with the word "don't" or "can't" will yield no results.

Is there a workaround or fix for this?
