[ how to grep for something with quotes in it ]

} Thanks Jon, it works well.

} FreeBSD will have to get you to write a new manual for grep.

While it's certainly true that there's room for improvement in many of the
man pages, keep in mind too that they are intended as a reference, and not
as a tutorial.  The quoting you asked about is actually a shell issue, and
is really one of those "UNIX principles" rather than anything specifically
to do with grep.
