Impossible to find an app on iPhone if its name contains a single quote

Posted on 6 Jan 2022 14:48:53 by 64

In my company we have an app named "It's a match".
When users try to find it on their iPhones by searching in PowerApps they cannot find it. However when typing only "match" it's okay: the app is displayed.

The single quote in "It's a match" is causing the issue.

Can this issue be fixed?

    Sorry I don't have an AndroĂŻd, only an iPhone. So it could be an issue that appears only on iOS.

    Strange, I have an android and I just tested it when I type It the app is shown. Can you test it on an android as well ?

    Hello Alaa,

    No, it doesn't work this way.
    When I type It' no app is found:

    If I type match, 2 apps are found:

    As I said I presume the single quote is not supported by the search function.

    Hello,

     

    Usually the search functionality start after typing at least three characters so if your users type

    It' they do not see the app ?

     

    Best regards,

    Alaa
