(Optional) Anything else you want to share?

• It is true that the search Front:a"bc would work. However, if the field contains a space, i.e. <span class="a">abc</span>, it becomes impossible to search for the exact string with say, "Front:<span class=\"a\">abc</span>".
• The query works on Anki Desktop, so I believe it is expected to work on AnkiDroid as well.
• I didn't test it on the latest stable release, only on the latest alpha release.
• As random workarounds, I tried queries such as "Front:a\\"bc", "Front:a\\\"bc", and `Front:a"bc`. Unfortuately, none of them worked.

Research
