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 <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_VERIFIED bz_closed" title="VERIFIED FIXED - Word search does not work in LibreOffice Writer if search term contains an apostrophe" href="show_bug.cgi?id=117643">bug 117643</a> 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).</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
