Well I think it is actually the single quote. So to get the ' in the search it would be ''.
At least in looking at the consultnats code in our project, it had that and when I displayed what the query would look like, it correctly had the single quote.
If not, slashes are always used as escape characters too. \ or /
Good Luck
Mark

You now Jasper, I appreciate the opportunity to help you here. But I also know that getting a quick response is important in questions like these. So you might want to try using Google groups too, and you can do searches there and find these kind of answers quickly.
I use it all the time and it helps out alot.
