Good-oh, indeed.

It's true that special characters can cause inconsistent results in almost anything but if you're searching Documentation for a command that includes them, you expect the search to be 'complete'; i.e., encompassing all possibities.

This search capability does not seem to be complete.  If I could find out more about it, I might be able to dig into it and find out why.  I don't know how the documentation is put together though. It's obviously very sophisticated but it doesn't seem familiar.

Good-oh!

However, I wonder why these symbols are not searchable. For example, when I search within the page you cite, they are findable. However, if I go to the top of the Documentation tree, they are not.

Not sure. I'm not sure were you are searching, in fact. But different search techniques will anyway do different things with non-alphanumeric characters, I think. Is that relevant?

There's no way I would probably find these without your help. Am I missing something?

Don't know, I'm afraid.
