            Bug ID: 116763
           Summary: The find tool doesn't match smart (Unicode)
                    apostrophes
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: andrewrhyatt at icloud.com

The find tool won't match the 'typewriter apostrophe' to smart (Unicode)
apostrophes like MS Word and most other word processors do. 

Steps to reproduce:

Turn on Language Settings -> English sentence checking -> Punctuation ->
Apostraphe

Type a document with Words such as "can't", "won't", "shouldn't", etc

Search for them with the find tool

They can't be found because what you are searching for is the typewriter
apostrophe and LibreOffice replaced those with Unicode apostrophes. 

This also applies to Unicode quotes and similar punctuation characters.
