IOS Smart Punctuation (curly quotes)

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

When using the ion-searchbar & searching for items containing an apostrophe, it returns no data when “smart punctuation” (ios 11 & above) is turned on. Is there a solution to this other than doing a string.replace() to replace curly quotes with straight quotes or telling the user to disable it in the ios general->keyboard->settings?

It would be nice if we had a variable to set for the app where we could enable/disable smart punctuation. Does anything like this exist?

Thanks,
Charlie

I’m running into this issue too, feels weird to ask users to disable this feature on their phone.

Did you ever find a solution/workaround for this?
