I know this is pretty known, but for some reason it was not in the tracker, so here it is.
The find panel won't search for an object with a dollar parameter.
For example, in a patch containing a [r $1],
neither "r $1" nor "r \$1" work as a search string.
The former returns
r 0
... couldn't find
while the latter returns
r \\$1
... couldn't find
