GREP "Any Double Quotation Marks" wildcard not working as expected
Version: CC (14.0.1.209)
While using InDesign's Find/Change GREP feature:
The following GREP query wont find the matching string even if it exists in the document: (Any White Space) followed by (Any Double Quotation Marks) followed by (Any Uppercase Letter)
\s"[A-Z]
This should find any white space followed by any double quotation mark followed by any uppercase letter, however it shows no match.
The following GREP searches will work, but when combined they do not work:
\s" will find the white space and the double quotation mark
"[A-Z] will find the double quotation mark and any uppercase letter
It seems to be the "Any Double Quotation Marks" wildcard that is broken because replacing that with alternatives will work.
Replacing with "Left Double Quotation Mark" ~{ will work
\s~{[A-Z]
Replacing with "Any Character" . will work
\s.[A-Z]
Maybe I have a misunderstanding of how the "Any Double Quotation Marks" wildcard is supposed to work.
Thanks for looking into this!

What happens if you write the following GREP query instead:
\s"\u
for (Any White Space) followed by (Any Double Quotation Marks) followed by (Any Uppercase Letter)
