Bug Description
In the ebook viewer, if you want to search for "don't" or "can't," etc., you have to specify a curly apostrophe by cutting-and-pasting it in. Word and other programs automatically search for smart and dumb (non-curly, typewriter-style) apostrophes, backticks (reverse apostrophes; British single open quotes), and quotation marks even if you've only types thesee plain keyboard/ASCII characters: ' ` "
It would be helpful if calibre could do the same thing.
Calibre 4.91 on Windows 7 Pro.
