Search returns no results for terms with an apostrophe

Searching for can't or O'Brien returns nothing, even though posts containing those terms exist. Searching without the apostrophe works.

Looks like the apostrophe is breaking the query somewhere.

You can pin a topic from its action menu — look for "Pin to space." A space can hold more than one pinned topic; pinned items sort above the rest while keeping their own order.

This is the answer I wish I had found six months ago. Would have saved me a weekend of trial and error.

Tried this on a staging copy first and it behaved exactly as described. Confident enough to roll it to production now.

Adding a small note: the same idea applies on mobile, just with a bit more attention to tap targets.

Thanks for writing this up. Bookmarking it — the kind of thing I will want to reference again in a month.
