Comment (by anonymous):

 I notice a similar problem (in a similar application).  Not that in order
 to preserve quotes, I need to add an extra (third) level of quotes.  This
 is in boost 1.34.  First example is single quote, double quote.  Second
 example is single quote, double quote, double quote.

 $ ./search --query='""a test""'
