I just upgraded to FileSeek 5.0.1, and I use the program to do simple term searches inside Word documents. The upgraded version seems to no longer support searching terms with apostrophe, for example, "John's stapler." Fileseek would search "john stapler" but not "john's stapler." I've tried multiple search settings and still the same issue. Anyone has a solution to this?
Would you be able to attach a sample document that I can test with here?
Thanks!

Ok, I attached an example. If I want to search for "John's stapler" or "attorney's fee" , I would not get a result. I think it may have to do with the font. Somehow the apostrophe in FileSeek search box is not registering other apostrophes when the font in the file is different from the Fileseek font.

That helps a lot! The apostrophe was typed using Times New Roman font in Microsoft Word, but the FileSeek Query Box seems to use a different font. Anyway, at least I know the font is the issue. The old version didn't differentiate between what font it was in. We might have to revert back to the old version of Fileseek in our office.
Do you remember which version you were on previously? I can give you a download link for it if you want to try it out.
