I use: wp search-replace "--old-word" "new word"

Error: unknown --old-word parameter

I am able to reproduce this issue in my local environment and it does seem to be a bug. Even trying to escape the " and ' it does not work. @schlessera I believe that we could set this one as a bug, and I'm more than happy to work on this one, so feel free to assign me to this issue.
