Can’t create a saved search on backslash (\), how do I do this

When I use the simple search and I type a \ (backslash) I find all the tasks containing a backslash.

However...

When I search in the 'advanced search' nothing returns if I search for [Task = Contains = \].
When I use a forward slash instead it does return tasks with a forward slash.

I want to create a saved search of all my tasks containing a backslash.

How can I do this?

@moderator I posted this question in “tips and tricks” instead of here as well. I think this is the right sub forum.

Are you still having a problem with this? I just tested it and it works with both / and \ in advanced search.

Nope. Still doesn't work.

I understood from another user as well that he had no problems with it. It is just so strange.
In simple search it works just fine, but in advanced search it only accepts / (forward slash) and not \ (backslash).

At a loss here...

I understand. I really have no clue about how it can be the case. It is the same for me on my laptop in the Chrome browser, my ipad and my phone.

Advanced search: /
No problem

Advanced search: \
Cant find it.

Simple search: /
No problem

Simple search: \
No problem (?)

Somehow, only the advanced search is refusing to show my tasks with a backslash (\).
