May 1 2010, search problem with apostrophes

Didn't notice this issue preupgrade, but searching for anything with 's at the end results in an error. Example: Aesthene's Close results in: Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /w/index.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Apache/2.2.15 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.15 OpenSSL/0.9.8m DAV/2 mod_fcgid/2.3.5 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at elanthipedia.com Port 80

However, Aesthene Close does work, and while it doesn't come up with a page it shows the page, "Aesthene's Close". I imagine that if people start typing in things with 's and get errors it will cause confusion and frustration on behalf of the "average" user.--Ysselt 19:58, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

I never noticed this prior upgrade either; but I also never searched with that character, I'll investigate soon as I can. --Callek 02:46, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
wanted to add it's any term with a ' anywhere in the search, for some reason that character seems to freak the server out. --Ysselt 01:14, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Navak found a fix for me. Replace ' with " and it will work. However nice, it's still kind of an annoyance. --Ysselt 22:54, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
