--- Comment #9 from Justin L <jluth at mail.com> ---
Like most word processors, LibreOffice by default turns on smart quotes, so it
CHANGES a u+0027 straight single quote into an open or close quote.

If you copy the 'hi' from the text and paste it into the search, it will find
it.

It is actually rather DANGEROUS to do what bug 117643 did and have a search for
the straight quote match a smart quote.  What if I wanted to find all the
instances where a straight quote was used instead of a smart quote? I wouldn't
be able to do it. So search really ought to find ONLY exactly what the user
entered.

I would resolve this as WONTFIX, and I would flag commit       
d40f2d02df26e216f367b5da3f9546b73f250469 as a regression (although there is
"regular expression" that "fixes" that - which also isn't intuitive to the
average user).
