Remove non-alphanumerics (except quotes) from search query

Browse source

That is, don't replace non-alphanumerics with a space. This matches the
behavior of Formatter::RemoveDiacriticsAndNonalphanumerics(), which
would be used here except that function would also remove quotes.  We
actually discussed not introducing spaces previously, but I made a
mistake and didn't apply the same change to the user's search query:

https://github.com/standardebooks/web/pull/470#discussion_r1929591492

This change fixes queries with compound words like:

`Haycraft-Queen`

and also fixes queries for authors with apostrophes:

`O'Neill`

No changes to existing DBs are necessary because they already have terms
like `haycraftqueen` and `oneill` stored in `IndexableCollections` and
`IndexableAuthors`.
