[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] tpac searching and apostrophes

[Yamil Suarez]

Gordana,

If you are running EG 2.4, then it could possibly be this bug…

https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1187433 - apostrophe search issues in 2.4

Though if you are running a different version, then it could be something else.
