Exclamation Advanced Search Escape Char

Is there an escape character for the Title field in the advanced search form?

For example:

I want to search for "The Horse's Mouth" (notice the apostrophe)

[ https://www.blu-ray.com/dvd/The-Horses-Mouth-DVD/23463/ ]

If I search for the title verbatim, no results are returned.

The returned search string from the system is: "The Horse\'s Mouth" (notice system supplied backslash).

If I use the backslash as an escape char in the query form, no result is found.

If, however, I search for "The Horses Mouth" (notice No apostrophe) then a result is matched.

So, my question is: How do I pass the proper string; i.e., what is the correct escape character or correct syntax?

I'm also interested in this, specifically I wanted to search for "glago's guest", but I do not get any results, also searching for "glago guest", "glago", "glago's" or "glagos guest" did not help. How do I put in the apostrophe?

That title doesn't appear to be in the database

As far as searches being tripped up by apostrophes, just leave them out

Thanks for the answer! However, there are definitely some results for the exact search term (with apostrophe) in the North America forum, but I only find the ones in this forum (of course I searched all open forums) even when I leave out the apostrophe. That confuses me a lot...

By the way, the title is just an unreleased Disney short.
