search function not working right
 

I just noticed this cropping up on me today. The RW search function is flaking out on me.

I just created a topic, Helm's Hall as a place located in Waterdeep.

However, when I do a search for the term "Helm's Hall", it returns nothing.

As I type this, I realize that the search field in RW deletes the apostrophe in the search term after you hit enter, instead searching for "Helms Hall" which returns nothing. But 'Helm Hall' returns the right results.

Interesting. Should it work this way (ignoring/deleting apostrophes), or is this a bug?

It's a bug. It has something to do with when they converted to the HTML controls or at least that's when it happened. There were posts about it at the time.
