Bug Description

What Happened

When I try to search something in the response body that has quotes, it seems that the search bar has some “rich text” functionality which sets a basic double quote character into the rich text quotation. This is causing the search bar to find no results, even though there clearly are

Steps to reproduce

Call an API that responds with some JSON body
Click on the response text box
Command + f to open search
Type just a plaintext double quote
See that it does search properly and finds instances of the double quote
After the double quote, type any letter
See that the double quote in the search bar is now converted to the special italicized “rich text” quote
Also see that it no longer can find any matches since it’s looking for the wrong quote type

I noticed that if I do " followed by characters then it converts it into fancy quotes, but if I write out characters, and then add in " then it doesn't convert it.

Searching just ":

Searching "head:

I’m afraid I can’t reproduce this behavior on my end. Could you please tell me what operating system you’re using? I’ve tried searching for "head and got the expected results.

The feature called “smart quotes” or “typographer’s quotes” automatically converts double quotes to curly quotes. This feature is enabled by default in many word processors and operating systems. It improves typography by replacing straight, generic quotation marks (“, ‘) with directional, curved quotation marks (“, ”).

If this is the case, you can either disable this feature from our operating system or whitelist Hoppscotch from the feature.
