Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It seems that Calibre's full-text search is particular when it comes to apostrophes. We must do both smart/curly quotes and "dumb" quotes to get all search hits.
this would need testing, but I believe that the tool I mentioned can do something like...

golfer’s elbow OR golfer's elbow

maybe:

golfer['’]s elbow
