It's font and locale dependent.  If you're running in English, and with a font 
that actually provides it, it should be a normal quote character.  Not all 
languages use " " (or 66/99 style typographical quotes) in text, so there's a 
possibility you're supposed to be seeing something like the formal German ,, 
baseline quote or a French guillemet, and your font doesn't have it.  

For within command line, it should in fact be the literal " character, since 
that is what users will be typing.

Other than suggesting trying some other fonts, I'm not sure what to suggest - 
Can you see the quotes on for instance this page:
http://docs.kde.org/en/3.3/kdebase/kfind/kfind.html#name-tab?

Maybe I'm missing something here if it's not a font issue, could you maybe 
make a screenshot?
