Hi,

Does google handle quotation marks properly when indexing and returning searches?

If i have a title - <title>Mother&#39;s day gifts</title>
and a visitors types in: Mother's day gifts

Will google handle it properly?
Or will it search for "mother s day gifts" and disregard "s"?
Also, when indexing will it index the word "mother" or "mother's" or "mother&#39;s"?
In the latter case, will it be able to pick a word "mother" out of it?

What about other se's?

I'm not sure about using &#39;, but mother's counts the same as mother in Google.

I've always just put the quote mark in, instead because it is more heavily searched. I know Google considers them differently.

For example, search for "men's gold jewelry", "mens gold jewelry", "men gold jewelry" ... all 3 are different.
