texte = >It is exported from Filemaker. Is there a way to turn off smart-quotes? (This >is an apostrophe in a name, not used as quotes)If it looks curly in FileMaker, then you'll never be able to find it when searching using a straight quote in WebCatalog. It's not the same character.You can change FileMaker's prefs so it doesn't type smart quotes, but that doesn't change the existing records. You'll have to search for and replace those yourself. Perhaps you can export to tab-delim, then use BBEdit to clean them up, and re-import.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
