We're using the "query suggestion" feature. We've realized that when searching for a title that contains a Special Character such a an apostrophe but the search query is missing the apostrophe, Swiftype will not return suggestions that contain an apostrophe.

e.g. `whats` will not returns `what's`

Is there a way to make special character insensitive?
