I've run into another problem in the back end search feature, this time it looks like K2 can't handle looking up words with Apostrophes.
This is universal in all the filters in the K2 Component, on the items, categories and other pages.

k2 will simply remove the ' out of the word "Commission's" and turn it into "Commissions" and not bring up anything with the word "Commission's" in it too.

I am struggling with this and can't really find a solution. Has anyone encountered the same problem ?

Hello Joseph,

K2 uses mysql's fulltext search where apostrophes are not permitted.
You can escape them by entering a / before the apostrophe.
