How to include brackets

FirstByte

Hello.  I want to search for specifically [dbo] including the brackets and I don't want to return dbo if there are no brackets.  I tried [[,]] and ?[, ?] and a few others.  How do I do this?

Thank you

Hi Matthew,
 
Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to do what you are wanting. In reviewing the documentation on SQL Search, it specifically mentions square brackets:
 

Square Brackets
Square brackets around identifiers are filtered out of the index we create to provide fast searches, so you can't match on them even if you are using wildcard matching and escape them.

 
Basically that means that [dbo] and dbo look the same to SQL Search. If this is a feature you feel needs to be added, please visit our UserVoice portal at https://redgate.uservoice.com/forums/101149-sql-search, and make the suggestion.
 
Let me know if this helps.

Thank you,
