Issue with Excluded Topics containing an apostrophe

    In Topic Search 2, I have a number of keywords, including anatomy. I recently started getting dozens of articles on the TV program so added the following to the Topic Excluded field:

    “Grey’s Anatomy” “Gray’s Anatomy” “Grey’s Anatomy” “Gray’s Anatomy”

    That didn’t work … and I noted the following in the Logs > Message field:

    Found excluded word: s

    There are dozens of them, based on all kinds of keywords, including anatomy.

    Is there any way around this?

    Thanks very much,

    John

    MyCurator uses root word matching, so Grey will match Grey and Grey’s so you can just drop the apostrophe and use “Grey Anatomy” and “Gray Anatomy”. Also, we do all matching in lowercase so you don’t need to worry about whether the first letter is capitalized.

    Thanks, I’ll try that!

    OK, that fixed it, marked as resolved: I hadn’t realized that the root word matching worked even if there were words in quotation marks!

    Thanks very much,

    John
