I did this with the following scripts:

for II in $(find html/ -type f); do sed 's/__sdollar__/s\$/g' -i $II; done
for II in $(find html/search/*.js -type f); do sed 's/_5f_5fsdollar_5f_5f/s_24/g' -i $II; done

After this, indexSectionsWithContent in search.js looks still like this:
var indexSectionsWithContent =
{
  0: "_f",
  1: "f",
  2: "_"
};

and replacing "_" with "s" makes that one can find "s$foo_bar" in the
html search field. Great!

Unfortunately, this is not working when there is another function
definition in foo.c, starting with "s" already:

void s$foo_bar(){}
void search(){}

After executing doxygen and the two sed scripts from above,
indexSectionsWithContent in search.js still looks like this:

var indexSectionsWithContent =
{
  0: "_fs",
  1: "f",
  2: "_s"
};

and typing "s" in the html search field yields only the function
"search" in foo.c. Typing "_" yields nothing. Removing "_" in search.js
even shows no single search result when typing one of "s", "_" or "f".

I don't really get what is the cause for this behaviour and how to find
"s$foo_bar", when there already is another function beginning with "s"
in my C file. :-)

But up to now: Thank you very much! I think I can also live with
searching for "__sdollar__ in the html search field.
