Neither of your suggestions are quite what I was looking for, but thanks anyway, it might help someone else out. Don't need a character set, since all my text is one or the other, not both. Unless I've misunderstood what you mean by character set. I'm assuming it is: ("|“). Is that what you meant?

Insert character tool is (for me) longer than typing in the alt code.
Character sets are not capture groups:

Code:
["“]
And if you have memorized the alt code, sure.

...

But yeah, there is no way to automagically make a regex find smart quotes whenever you search for a dumb quote. You will have to manually specify it somehow -- although at least you have a couple ways to specify that you don't care which type of quotes are used.
