Description Make it so that it is case-insensitive, and also ignores punctuation and white-space.

So if the answer you expected was "Hook's law", it could accept "Hook's law", "Hooks law", "Hooks law", " hooks law", "HOOKS LAW".

There is a small potential for that introducing errors (ignoring apostrophes is debatable), but it would be crucial in practice.

I do worry that users may type something like "Hookes law" or "The law of Hook" or "Hoeks Law" or something else close enough, so leaving the system of manually marking would probably be necessary rather than marking things wrong.
