I've been writing about search topics here for almost 12 years and every day, I try to find about five new things to bring you.

The answer is, it makes no difference. Both single or double quotes are fine.

Gary Illyes from Google said so on Twitter the other day saying "it's fine, both single and double quotes work, it doesn't matter."

So there is a new confirmed tidbit for you all.
