Any other characters other than the multiplication sign (×) and the ʻokina (ʻ)? FWIW, the solution to this is still not going to be ideal. Search is tricky and we do it differently in different places. For example, I’m planning on just not indexing the ʻokina for some fields in the search index, which means ʻalae, 'alae, and alae will all return Fulico alai, but not necessarily at the same position in the results, and a search for ʻalae may not return it as the top hit even though it’s an exact match.
