Example file with single and double apostrophes and their typographic versions
Can't reproduce this in 7.1, since:

tdf#117643 Writer: fix apostrophe search regression
During text search, ASCII apostrophe ' (U+0027)
of the search term matches the typographic
apostrophe ’ (U+2019) of the text, too.
Now 'hi' matches:
'hi'
’hi’
o' matches in:
six o’clock
seven o'clock
and "You know" matches
"You know" but NOT „You know”
as seen in this attached file.
Maybe we could focus this bug on the latter.
My Word 2019 matches both apostrophes if the "Use wildcards" option (see:
https://cybertext.wordpress.com/2012/01/05/word-find-and-replace-multiple-spaces-before-a-number/)
is not checked (by default).
Checking this box is not much more unintuitive than checking "Regular
expression" in Writer to have only the literal ' or " match.
So for UX compatibility (as asked by OP) it would be nice to have "You know" to
match "You know" AND „You know”.
