Using Search Metacharacters in the Simple Search
Certain characters have a special function when used in the simple search:

Wildcard characters allow you to search for keywords that match a string pattern. See
Using Wildcards.

The quote character (") is used to group keywords into phrases, as described in
Using Keywords.

To force the simple search to treat these metacharacters as normal characters, precede the character with a backslash (\). If you want to include the backslash character itself in the search, type two backslashes.
