I did realize a couple of points that might be helpful to others: 1. When you run "find and replace," it won't always pick up all the apostrophes (or single close-quotes). Apparently, different programs encode this symbol differently. I've encountered this problem before when using more than one program to prepare word-processed documents. There is no easy solution to it that I know of. At times, in formal documents, I have been reduced to careful proofing to make sure all the apostrophes are in the same typeface.
2. In the particular app I am building, search results are displayed in html. Replacing apostrophes with ’ ( see http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/web/codehtml.html#punc ) solves the problem. Although with this particular database, I must find and replace all the apostrophes (I'm far enough along with this database that find-and-replace will be faster than starting over), in the next one I will replace apostrophes with ’ while editing in html to finesse the problem.
