I created the backup installation in other directory under new database and updated to V 2.6.14 and YES the issue remains!

so - progress.. you can now report this as a confirmed bug in the latest release of VM2.6.xx

it is the problem of " being replaced with the html entity 34... I remember fixing this on a site somewhere  but can't find ..

from memory it is because the " are urlencoded with the post (as they should be.. )

think you need to do something like $this->keyword = str_replace("&34","\"\",$this->keyword);
once it gets to the search routine in model/products.php but pretty sure more than that needed
