Hi, I noticed that I have to manually escape the single apostrophe in Dick's to search Dick's Drive-In?

[Dick's] doesn't work, you must use [Dick''s]? @ Search restaurant safety ratings https://kingcounty.gov/en/dept/dph/health-safety/food-safety/search-restaurant-safety-ratings#/

Here is the exception when I search [Dick's]:

[ omitted ]

Here I cannot tell what the issue is, but I was able to search by address? @ Restaurant inspection information https://info.kingcounty.gov/health/ehs/foodsafety/inspections/search.aspx

Thanks!

Daniel

Re: passing it on (or "I’ll share your message with our inspection search web developer to see if we can get that fixed."): Emma Lurie and I encountered that phrase a lot in our research for [Search quality complaints and imaginary repair: Control in articulations of Google Search](/shortcuts/griffin2022search) [@griffin2022search]

Part of my reply:

That's nice to know. Thanks! Super helpful.

It'd be really slick to have a little "Search Tip" appear if there are no results (like when searching [Drive]) or an error (though I imagine your logs will tell you if this is a problem worth mitigating in that way or not).

Thank you for the speedy response.
