I just tried it on Firefox 2.0.0.1 in Feisty, and doing exactly the same thing doesn't find the word (it does find it in this page, since it uses regular quotes, but not in the link above).

Yes, confirming this on Feisty 2.0.0.1

We may need to find more examples of this.

This does not work on other builds of Firefox because it opens up too many ideas of character parsing. Thanks for reporting.

Thanks for your report.
Unfortunately I need more information. I have tried this on Firefox 2.0 in Edgy and hitting control-f and typing "objective" (including quotes) does find the word.
