How to search for specific text?

[8ymahar 3]

If I want to search for the word #hello I would expect "#hello" to return only notes containing #hello but it returns notes with the word hello in them also.

Is there any way to do this?

Search does not include most special characters. # is one of them.

Hi.  Special characters are not necessarily recognised in search.  Emojii are,  and some characters like "|" (so "|Hello " would be valid).  Personally I just use x for my search words as in xhello.

That's helpful thank you, I'm going to use the x idea.

If you add _hello it will find exact that word and exactly where it is in text
