--- Comment #12 from dguidry at lcg.org ---
Is there any update in regards to this particular issue? I'm running Koha 17.05
and are experiencing the same problem.

One example is we have an entry for "Expositor's Dictionary". The only way it
will return a result is by searching for "expositor" or "expositor's", but the
average person seems to type "expositors" and it returns no results. A typical
search engine in 2017 is generally able to handle this, so this is the
prevailing user expectation these days.

Are there any plans to resolve this sort of usability issue? We've had multiple
people report this problem over the last year when searching for various items
in our catalog that contain an apostrophe. If there's no fix in the works, is
there a decent workaround that can be implemented in the meantime to smooth
this over for our users?
