Betja said:Now that I really don't understand -- I type it in exactly as the registration shows, and every time it says "No Results Found" ??? What am I doing wrong?
Betty, you are not doing anything wrong. The AHS database search has 'bugs' in handling apostrophes. I have reported one bug on more than one occasion.
In this case the 'bug' is annoyingly simple.
If you are like me, when you type in a search with an apostrophe you use the ' key on the right side of the keyboard near the return key and type this,
Baby's Got Blue Eyes
But the AHS search database displays the name like this, Baby’s Got Blue Eyes. If one looks very carefully one can see that they are not the same character.
I put them together below to help show the difference:
Baby's Got Blue Eyes (1)
Baby’s Got Blue Eyes (2)
One can look at the ascii code values for the two characters. The typed one from the keyboard is 27H and the one displayed by the database is 92H.
If one does a search using Baby's copied and pasted from (1) [keyboard] above one gets:
"Search Results

If one does a search using Baby’s copied and pasted from (2) [as present in the database for this cultivar] above one gets:
"Search Results

Daylily Baby’s Got Blue Eyes Baby’s Got Blue Eyes (Gossard-D., 2013)
height 32in (81cm), bloom 5in (12.5cm), season M, Rebloom, Dormant, Tetraploid, Fragrant, 18 buds, 4 branches, Double 98%, Cream white with a patterned blue, purple, maroon eyezone, above a very green throat. (((Tet. Crystal Blue Persuasion × (((Joe Marinello × Custard Candy) × Tet. Wings of Chance) × Tet. In the Navy)) × Blue Beetle) "
The word Daylily and the duplicated cultivar name occurs when there is a photograph of the cultivar.
It appears that some apostrophes in cultivar names in the database are one character and other apostrophes in cultivar names are the other character.
