The aphostrophe is removed intentionally, it’s a security issue, for protecting the database. I’m afraid there wont be an opportunity to change this, it’s very risky. (mysql injections through search input field)
Well, page exclusion should work by entering the post/page id-s at the advanced options field on the search settings page. I couldn’t figure out a more convenient way yet to exclude posts/pages, technical reasons.
I can include this in the upcoming version, it sounds like a great idea!
