Now it is impossible to search for single and double quotes that are typed in the search field with normal keyboard characters because single and double quotes are replaced by other characters in normal text due to the localized options in the AutoCorrect options. English keyboard layout: ' has its own key, " is shift+' according to https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/51/KB_United_States-NoAltGr.svg German keyboard layout: " is shift+2 and ' is shift+# according to https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/36/KB_Germany.svg Steps to reproduce: 1) Type or copy the following text into a Writer document. English text: Test test “test” test ‘test’ test. German text: Test test „test“ test ‚test‘ test. French text : Test test « test » test ‘test’ test. 2) Open search with ctrl+f. 3) Type " into the search field and search for it. 4) Type ' into the search field and search for it. Actual result: Nothing will be found. Expected result: As LibreOffice replaces these characters automatically, the search field should respect that and find the auto-corrected equivalents. Maybe an option in the find dialog can be introduced where the user can specify that only the original "'" and not the auto-corrected localized equivalents should be found. In my view, the user usually wants to find what is in the document--that's what the user writes or what LibreOffice auto-corrects.
