Can't search for words with ampersands nor apostrophes - returns 0 results

I'm having a problem with views fast search.
I have several hundred items in my database that are named by brand names, which often contain ampersands or apostrophes. Think McDonald's , AT&T, Mike's Hard lemonade, Marks&Spencer and so on.
If you search on "Mike's" or McDonald's" you will get no results. Same with AT&T. Shorter searcher like "mike" brings in everything with "mike" in it, but just like searching on "AT" instead of AT&T this is not intuitive for the user and the results are drowned in hundreds of other irrelevant returns.
Can views fast search learn what ampersands and apostrophe's are? I'm guessing this is a feature request since it looks like views does this by design.
