    Hi Ivory Search,

    I wonder if you can help? On the site I manage (https://marketstreet.ie/) we are seeing two different search results when using an apostrophe. For example, I get 146 results returned when searching for “Sheeps Clothing”, but I only get 17 when searching for “Sheep’s clothing”.

    Is there a way to set the plugin so that it ignores apostrophes?

    Thanks,
    Ryan

    I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.

    This is happening because the two are different words.

    Currently, the Ivory Search plugin does not provide this functionality to ignore apostrophes but you can try using the Synonyms feature of the plugin and add in it Sheep’s = Sheeps

    Best regards,
