searches with apostrophe

[Robert Marianski]

When searching for a name with an apostrophe in it, ie O'Donnell, it doesn't yield the proper results, as in the user with the name O'Donnell doesn't show up. This is true for both livesearch and advanced search results interfaces.

[Nat Katin-Borland (nborland)]

This appears to be true for other punctuation marks like "-" etc.

"-" is part of the Postgresql query language, it means "not".

I'll see what can be done about this.

[Shane Hathaway (shane-hathawaymix)]

Fixed in repoze.pgtextindex 0.3. Searching for "O'Donnell" was not working and now it seems to work. All we had to do is pass the apostrophe (in encoded form) to Postgres.
