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?
