Title search problem

Before I posted my recent story, I searched for other stories titled "My Sister's Wedding." It came up blank. I was surprised. I posted the story with that title, and the title in the link was "my-sisters-wedding-7," so despite the search result, there were six older stories of the same name that didn't appear in the search.

I can search for "My Sister's Wedding" through Google and find my story and the six preceding stories.

I tried again with my story "Oscar's Place" and it failed to find it. It found other stories that contained "Oscar," but not "Oscar's."

It looks like an apostrophe truncates the search string. Is this a known problem?

Until it's fixed, I'll have to remember to not use apostrophes in my title. I haven't checked their effect in the short description or tags.
 
So no special characters in titles got it. Thanks. I have a 26 part series that has an apostrophe. Damn.
 
I succeeded (somewhat) by leaving the "'s" out, and searching for "My Sister Wedding." It did find my stories and the six older stories, but it also returned a lot of extraneous results that probably wouldn't have been there with the "'s" included.

And of course, that doesn't really fix the problem.
