Search should ignore all punctuation & non-alphabetic characters
Currently the inclusion of basic punctuation such as colons, apostrophes, semicolons, etc. often cause searches to fail. This is especially true when copying titles from a web page, and is even worse when using the Quick Search box. If the searches just ignored all punctuation and non-alphabetic characters, this would not be a problem.

With the exception of 4 operators, the search will ignore punctuation now in both advanced and quick search.
1 - Double Quotes will allow an exact text search.
2 - plus sign will allow forced inclusion
3 - minus sign will allow forced exclusion
4 - asterisk will allow truncation
