I didn't know about this typographic difference, thanks.

For what it's worth, I see a different number of results when full-text searching with each apostrophe's variant:

Could it be the case that you only have books containing results with the smart apostrophe?

Given the sqlite FTS limitation, I often find myself using the Quality Check Plugin Search ePubs tool, as it can run regex searches. For instance:

(?i)\, though\. gives me results containing the segment ", though."

Sqlite FTS can't do that, unfortunately.
