Code search for wildcard characters
My message was approximately as follows (I realize that cloning down and grepping is always an alternative): > [Searching code](https://help.github.com/articles/searching-code/) states explicitly that "You can't use the following wildcard characters as part of your search query: . , : ; / \ ` ' " = \* ! ? # $ & + ^ | ~ < > ( ) { } [ ]. The search will simply ignore these symbols". Is it in any way possible to get around that in code search? If not, I recommend that this be placed in the backlog. Response from James Dennes: > Thanks for the feedback on GitHub Search. It's not currently possible, but I'll add a +1 to this suggestion on our internal Feature Request List. We can't promise if we may add something like this, but we appreciate the feedback.
