Default Find/Replace Between Quotes "*"

I have tried to search using wildcards for data between quotes. I thought it
would be "*" but it is not finding anything. Can someone help? Thanks.

Default Find/Replace Between Quotes "*"

That should work if the double quotes are the vertical ones. If they are
slanted (open is different from closed), that explains why your search
doesn't work. Try this (using Unicode values of the slanted double quotes:

[^0147^0148"]*[^0147^0148"]

This way, any one of the three types ( or or ")can either open or close
the set.
