Your apostrophe issue is a simple overspecification of the search. Just remove all but one important word from the title, leave the author and you will find many matches. Do the same for authors - just leave the last name. It's not Calibre that needs to strip the punctuation, it's the various data sources. Removing punctuation on the Calibre side will cause more search failures, not less, because the data sources have the punctuation and the matches will fail.
To do this on the Calibre side, it would need to muck with the contents of the author and title before the search request was sent to each data source. That might help in some situations, but you wouldn't be able to see what you were searching for. If I put the correct author in, and Calibre searched for something else, I'd be annoyed.
