Using the Standard Analyzer the string McDonald's is indexed with the term mcdonald
so it will be found by a (QueryParser parsed) query for McDonald or McDonald's but not McDonalds Wikipedia (who uses lucene) says on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Searching An apostrophe is identical to a single quote, therefore Mu'ammar can be found searching for exactly that (and not otherwise). A word with apostrophe s is an exception in that it can be found also searching for the word without the apostrophe and the s. Is this a custom parser? How can one achieve this same exception most easily?
