#41 search syntax -avoid special char

[Zdenek Vit]

Hello!
Excelent performance !!
Only one thing I don't catch: How to find file, where the text "????" occurs.
No idea how to avoid wilcard interpretation. Tried lucen, but no answer except "\" in front of a single special character. But it doesn't work.
Any help ???¨
Thanks

I'll look into the escaping issue.

As a workaround, you could use DocFetcher on the command prompt to convert your documents to plain text files. Then you could use grep or some other regex search tool on the generated text files to search for the '???' characters.

For more information about text extraction with DocFetcher, see http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/docfetcher/index.php?title=Advanced_Usage
