I don’t have BPS Pro but I have a similar issue and this is the only thread I could find that addresses my issue with search. When someone adds an apostrophe in their search term: (example – Men’s Group) they receive the 403 page. I know I can comment this out in the root .htaccess file, but the ‘ and corresponding %27 appears in several locations. Is that how I am supposed to do it? Comment out all of these? It seems like that will make our site a lot less secure.
