It seems that a product that is targeted at developers, leaves a segment of them out by ignoring pound sign and things that start with a periods in searches. 

Popular examples of what you cannot search for in confluence as those special characters are ignored.

  • C#
  • F#
  • .NET

I tried escaping them with a backslash but doesn't work. I tried putting the statement in quotes "C#" for example, and it still ignores the pound sign.

Without the use of extensions/add-ins is there any way to do advance searches to prevent the lost of these characters in a search?
