Kovid:

Good find on the long-press. Since this work-around requires the end-user to be aware of smart-quote problem and how to workaround it, Content Server end-user education is required. I’m not a novice, but with my eyesight and the size of an iDevice screen, I couldn’t see the smart quotes and it took me a while to figure out why my searches weren’t finding known entries in the database when accessing from iPad. If the user doesn’t have prior knowledge of the database contents, they may not be aware that their search results aren’t reflecting as intended.

My preference would be to solve the issue for the end user so no end-user knowledge is required, but if this workaround is the final answer, can the content server at least throw a warning and instructions to the user if the user agent is iOS and a search is entered with smart quotes?

Thanks much for a fantastic tool that we use daily!
