Running Sphinx 0.9.9 r2117 on OSX.

My colleague posted this issue over in the sphinx forums, but it seems
that they aren't very active over there.

Wondering whether or not anyone over here has had similar issues, and
how they might be overcome.  This is the problem:

I'm trying to ignore the single quote charecter (') and I cant seem to
make it work. The
search I'm performing is on O'grady's. If I search with "o grady s"
then I get the
result, but not when I search for ogradys. Here is the conf file. I'm
not getting any
errors when I run the index. Any ideas on why its not working?

index business_core
{
    source = business_core_0
    path = /cs/sphinx_index/development/business_core
    morphology = stem_en
    charset_type = utf-8
    ignore_chars = U+0027, U+27
    exceptions = /cs/current/db/sphinx/exceptions.txt
}

Furthermore, I've tried tweaking this, simply to get Sphinx to ignore
*something*, as ignore_chars is described in the docs, so I tried to
make it ignore "z" (hex is 007a):
index business_core
{
    source = business_core_0
    path = /cs/sphinx_index/development/business_core
    morphology = stem_en
    charset_type = utf-8
    charset_table = 0..9, A..Y->a..y, a..y
    ignore_chars = U+7A
    exceptions = /cs/current/db/sphinx/exceptions.txt
}

With this configuration, I indexed a business with the name "rozie".
Then I tried searching (even simply using "search" on the command
line) for "roie" and got nothing.  Searching for "rozie" brought the
item back, but showed that Sphinx is actually searching for "ro" and
"ie", which indicates that Sphinx is ignoring my "ignore_chars"
setting, and instead treating the "z" character as an unknown
character, which acts as a separator.

Any ideas?
