[Archivesspace_Users_Group] FW: normalization in ArchivesSpace

(which I think is the one used for most text fields) doesn't exclude the
apostrophe or use it as a delimiter to split the word (as it does with
other punctuation marks), so a query for "Governor’s" won't match
"Governors" and vice versa. I don't know of a convenient workaround
(without modifying the Solr schema).
