Any way to ignore punctuation?

[interfabParticipant]

Is there a setting that can be used to ignore punctuation? I’d like to ignore apostrophe’s and spaces.

For example, if I search my site for the movie “The Devils Candy” nothing is found, because the name is technically “The Devil’s Candy”.

And if I copy/paste the name of a movie into the search bar (which users commonly do) no movie is found since pasting puts one space after the title.

Please let me know if there’s a way to ignore these things.

Thanks,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,

Yes, by using the index table engine. That way the words are stored both with and without punctuation marks.
