Hi. I know that searching terms with apostrophes has been problematic in the past but we are now seeing a new level of problems and I wondered if anyone has seen the same symptoms and has any advice or workarounds that might help.
Searching for an author such as O'Brien brings back almost the whole catalogue if we have QueryAutoTruncate or QueryFuzzy or QueryStemming switched on. With them off: If I search for O<space>Brien in the "simple search" box it brings back all records with either O or Brien (far too many). If I use Advanced Search> Author and search for O Brien then it returns just those with O AND Brien in an author tag (close enough in this case). If I use the "Library Catalog" pull-down to select "Author" and search for O Brien it brings back all records with either O or Brien in an author tag (too many).
Interesting... We have never had difficulties on 3.6 or 3.8 except that the fuzziness of the *catalogue" search, rather than *author* can be overwhelming (see <http://opac.navalmarinearchive.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=au&q=o%27brian>) I'm wondering if your apostrophes are encoded correctly for UTF-8 (hex) 0x27 ?

We also have a problem with linking bibs to authorities which in combination with this issue is giving major headaches.
If anyone has any pointers or knows how to get round or over this problem I would love to hear from you. More details on request...
We are using Zebra dom indexing and icu chains and are using Koha 3.12 on Debian. We are not yet using QueryParser. Sysprefs and Help > About are here:
