the thing is that sometimes the results are quoted, and sometimes they
aren't.  experimentation shows that quotes are omitted when the result
is just a word (i.e. no spaces in between). see the lines marked ***
below:

"Abbreviated Bibliography"
***Abbreviations
"Abbreviations and acronyms"
"Abbreviations and Acronyms"
"Abkürzungen und Akronyme"
***Abkürzungsverzeichnis
"Abonnés aux téléphones portables"
"About the authors"

while I do know a way around it (as described earlier), it doesn't
seem satisfactory, and I was (am!) hoping that there is a simple
solution that I haven't seen.
