Bug Description

From http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.9/_search_tips.html

"Punctuation marks occurring within a word are removed; the exception is _. So, a title search for gol_den com_pass gives no result."

This tip was once true and is behavior that can be configured for sites that use NACO normalization for their indexed.

However, with default normalization, apostrophes are replaced with a space. I'm not quite sure what happens with other punctuation, but the above should be noted since the change does affect search results. Example: a search for finnegan's wake will not successfully retrieve finnegans when the apostrophe is replaced with a space, but it was successfully retrieved when the apostrophe was removed.
