These have no double quote in the source document at the place where the
search requires it. For example, "http://test.org/"" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://test.org/" does not exist in
what you are searching but "http://test.org/ (without the trailing
double quote) does.

In this case there is a double quote in the source document right after
the '/abs/' so it matches your search string.
