It would be great for those using Elasticsearch if searching the catalog would ignore commas and apostrophes, that is, treat the punctuation as a delete. This is how other search engines and ILS's handle searches. This will help those librarians that do (or do not) include punctuation in the search where it may not (or may) be in the record. The hoped for outcome is that searching for "1,000 fun facts" and "1000 fun facts" will retrieve the same results, and similarly "thats not my deer" and "that's not my deer" will retrieve the same results.
Hi Kristi, which version of Koha are you testing with? This might have been fixed by bug 27153 already (in 23.11).

In that bug we remove the punctuation from the index, this means that a search for "1000" will return titles with "1000" or "1,000" We don't perform the same substitution on search terms, so a search for "1,000" will not return titles with "1000" Libraries would like it to work both ways
