ESI search endpoint ignoring apostrophe

The game makes a distinction between one name with an apostrophe and one looking similar but without it. Now the search endpoint does not.

Case in point: Lords Servant and Lord's Servant.

For the game they are both distinct characters. But if you search either terms using the ESI endpoint, even with strict flag enabled, it simply ignores the apostrophe and returns both IDs.

I think if the game makes a distinction so should the search.

Sounds like a bug.

Please make an issue on the ESI github.

There is already an issue for that: https://github.com/ccpgames/esi-issues/issues/211
Blacksmoke16 is right, though, the forum is not the place to report ESI bugs
