We don't ignore the apostrophe/single quote in Zebra. We change it to a space.
That's significantly different than replacing it with nothing from a
tokenization perspective.

I think I've talked about some options on a different bug about indexing both
options, so there probably are some options (like indexing with and without
punctuation) for making a Koha configuration for it. But it would probably be a
bit error-prone as we'd need to change all of Koha to support it.

I'm not using Elasticsearch yet, so I'm happy for people to try things out.
Just trying to think of any pitfalls. And also hoping that we can try to keep
Zebra and Elasticsearch similar in their configuration - or else we should
think about deprecating Zebra and just focusing on Elasticsearch.

Regarding "don't", I would hope that people would search for "don't" instead of
"dont" or "don t". Note that "dont" is also a French word, so searches for
"don't" would match for titles including the word "dont". But multilingual
indexing is hard anyway...
