my website theme has an Ajax search bar. My search bar does not seem to work properly when searching for products containing apostrophes and quotes in the title.

Example:

Title of a product is 4'x4' Grow Tent I will type 4' into my live search bar, and when I click on the actual product that shows up in the dropdown live search bar, I am directed to a page saying "No products found".

Any ideas? I've been searching for days with no luck.

Try to apply some function like htmlspecialchars() on your query before searching for it, it will translate your special chars into HTML entities.
