Hi everyone,
 
I have a question about searching the tpac. We have a book that's in high demand right now called: ultimate job hunter's guidebook.
 
http://niagaracollege.niagaraevergreen.ca/eg/opac/record/281357?fi%3Aitem_type=;query=ultimate%20job%20hunter%27s%20guidebook;qtype=keyword;locg=2;sort= 
 
Students do not search for the title using the apostrophe. When they drop it, the search does not return any results.

This seems a little bit odd to me. Is this expected behaviour? 
 
Thanks!
Gordana
