Searching for terms that contain an apostrophe in Clearwell

I am having difficulty searching for terms that contain an apostrophe in Clearwell.  For example, I want to look for the word "fed's" throughout the data set.  I know that Clearwell treats an apostrophe as a trim character and will only return the word "fed".  Is there a way to return the words that contain the apostrophe or do I need to change how Clearwell handles the apostrophe?

  • Hello Rick,

    I've just tried with the example "I'll" [i will] on stock data, it did return as expected. I also tried with the wildcard char ?, so "I?ll", this also worked.

    With the single char wildcard, does this return expected results?
