Hello,

I just found a bug: the apostrophe (widely used in the french language for example) is not recognized with the right ascii char:  
For example the movie “J’accuse” is not recognized in the search but if you copy and past the title it can be found “J’accuse”  
The issue is that the character that is used in plex is not the right one mapped on keyboard.

Thanks

I have the same issue with Plex search , this is more of a improvment they really need to make.

If i search:

cant buy my love  
(nothing comes up)

search: can’t buy my love  
(proper movie “Can’t Buy My Love” comes up).  
So the plex search logic should match even without the apostrophe .

this would match with how people normally search (especially on appleTV type devices)  
thanks
