Has there possibly been a regression of this issue: [Apostrophes cause strange search behavior](https://meta.discourse.org/t/apostrophes-cause-strange-search-behavior/28441)

On my forum, when I attempt to search “What’s”, I get no results, even though the word “What’s” is in the title of several topics:

You can’t search for stop words alone. For example, searching for “you”, etc. Do a search here for “stop words” to learn more.
