Ignore Punctuation in Searches

It's consistently frustrating trying to guess which brands have an apostrophe and which don't while searching. For example, Jimmy Johns Hunters Club and Jimmy John's Hunters Club bring up different results. The apostrophe version returns the item from the database with the green checkmark. In this case the one without the green checkmark matches, but they don't always. Can we just ignore punctuation in the search box and in the DB so results with and without them are treated the same?

    Thank you for the callout! Our team is currently looking into ways to enhance the food database search experience.
