4 years ago I'm really surprised the full-text index doesn't ignore apostrophes when searching, I'm currently looking at a few different solutions, the only one I've seen that might be successful is creating a different view/column with all the special characters stripped out of the titles: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3587740/exclude-apostrophes-from-sql-server-full-text-search

Some sites will create "keyword tags" for each item entry, and then display search results in rank order based on how many 'keywords' are matched. A keyword is any of the space delimited words, words with and without punctuation (they'll and theyll), punctuation word fragments (they and ll), words from alternate/working titles, titles from other languages, year, genre, actors, directors, etc etc. I recommend deleting any keywords that are fewer than 3 or 4 letters, eg, no ll keyword.
You can add weights to keywords, ie, if the keyword has a punctuation, it's worth a weight of 2 instead of 1, if it exactly matches a punctuated word the user typed. (they'll = 2, while they = 1, and ll = 1.)
So anyway. Keywords. ?k=keyword+search+please+2020
Also, big plus, allow the user to be off by +1 or -1 year, since a 2016 movie is sometimes cited as being a 2015 movie or a 2017 movie, depending on who you ask. This is another big reason for 0 results.

4 years ago how I can get all movies? I tried to get all movies uses omdb api but it's doesn't work
Here are two lists of movies that OMDb could not find. In the first list, OMDb returned 0 results for all Title queries and all Search queries, with and without a Year parameter passed.
One of the main causes of failure seems to be OMDb's inability to resolve for missing punctuation, such as apostrophes, hyphens, ampersands and periods. I recommend that OMDb not require these to be present, or offer an option for relaxed punctuation.
And here are a list of movies that failed a Title search, and only returned some results with a Search query. Most of the search results are pretty useless with no valid matches anyway.
