    We would like some advice regarding special characters in place name such as (.) and (‘).

    We have two separate place listings (two separate locations)
    1) St. Mary’s College
    2) St. Mary’s College Prep

    When searching using Keywords:

    St Mary’s College OR
    St Mary’s

    1) St. Mary’s College – does not appear in search results

    2) St Mary’s College Prep – appears in the search

    3) St Mary’s College only appears in the search results if searching using keywords: st mary

    We have tried to add a new listing for St Mary’s College (without .) but it still does not appear in the result.

    Again, in back end under Places,
    searching using keywords

    Mary, or St Mary

    the listing St Mary’s College will appear

    if searching keywords

    St Mary’s
    St Mary’s College

    the listing St Mary’s College DOES NOT appear

    We are currently on GeoDirectory Version 1.6.21
    WordPress 4.7.5

    and installed:
    GD Advance Search Filter Version 1.4.8
    GD Custom Google Maps Version 1.1.0
    GD Location Manager Version 1.5.40

    Search page is here https://www.catholicindependentschools.com/find-a-school/

    Please let us know if we should avoid or do things a certain way to get the intended results showing.

    hi,

    please export your listings, you will notice that some are using a curly quote and some a straight quote:

    St Mary’s

    vs

    St Mary's

    You should use one or the other consistently and the correct one to use is the straight quote.

    Let us know,

    Thanks
