Bug 27217 – Straight quotes should match fancy quotes in in-page search

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Text

[Darin Adler]

If a web page contains the text "it’s" and I search for "it's" (note the different quotes), the text isn't found. 

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Safari.
2. Navigate to <http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/08/world/asia/08china.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&pagewanted=all>.
3. Hit command-F and type "china's" into the search box. Note that there's no match.
4. Hit command-F again and type "china’s" into the search box, this time using option-shift-] (in the US layout) for the quote mark. Note that it now matches.

Should this also fold hebrewPunctuationGershayim to " and (the still-nonexistent) hebrewPunctuationGeresh to ' ?

Sure, I think it could. We could also fold a lot of other characters; for example there are similar quote marks with slightly different vertical positions. I decided to stick with the ones I knew would be a big deal. We can work together to make a longer list.

r=me if you add a mapping from hebrewPunctuationGershayim to " and from hebrewPunctuationGeresh (U+05F3, still not in CharacterNames.h) to '
