That is false.  Quotes are NOT included in the search.  Try and see:

print <<"EOP";
la la la
EOP

By default, the data in the here-doc goes through double-quotish
interpolation.  You can change that with <<'EOP'.  So <<"EOP" and <<EOP are
the exact same thing, doing double-quotish interpolation, while <<'EOP'
does no interpolation.
