Note 1: The description of this bug probably does not properly reflect its true nature. If you can find a more precise description, please change the title.

Note 2: To alleviate any doubt:

* apostrophe = ' = U+0027
* Hebrew Letter Yod = י = U+0529

Now, the actual bug description: Go to the Hebrew Wikipedia and type "תבנית:משתמש גי" in the search box (w/o the quotes). The first few search suggestions will be reasonable:

a) "תבנית:משתמש גיל"
b) "תבנית:משתמש גיטרה"
c) "תבנית:משתמש גיל2"
d) "תבנית:משתמש גיי פרנדלי"

but the next suggestion is weird:

1) "תבנית:משתמש גיינג'י" is the text displayed in the suggestions list
2) "תבנית:משתמש ג'ינג'י" is the actual title of the target page
3) "תבנית:משתמש ג'ינג'י" is the string that is copied to the search box if i move there with the mouse

(Numbers 2 and 3 are the same.)

To complicate things further, if you type "תבנית:משתמש גיי" into the search box, the suggestions will be:

a) "תבנית:משתמש ג'י פרנדלי" - the actual title of the target page is "תבנית:משתמש גיי פרנדלי"
b) "תבנית:משתמש ג'ימר" - the actual title of the target page is "תבנית:משתמש גיימר"
c) "תבנית:משתמש ג'יימס בונד" - the actual title of the target page is the same, but in the search suggestions the characters "ג'י" are displayed in a bold font.

This bug may or may not have something to do with the fact that the letter Yod (י) and the apostrophe (') have similar appearance. I don't think that it happens with other letters, but i might wrong.

It actually makes sense to be flexible with the apostrophe when searching, but displaying "ג'י פרנדלי" instead of "גיי פרנדלי" is definitely wrong. Although it is not a major problem, some other issue may hide behind it.

I tried to be clear with the descriptions of Hebrew characters, but if you have any problem understanding them, please contact me for further explanation.

Thanks to User:אריה ה. (Arye H.) in the Hebrew Wikipedia for reporting this issue.
