In a list I have a column with these values:

MyField ------- foo.A foo.B foo.* 

I want to search for these values. I've plumbed all managed properties and crawled content.

• If I search myfield:"foo.", all results are returned ==> Expected
• If I search myfield:"foo.A", results with the foo.A are returned.==> Expected
• If I search myfield:"foo.*", both foo.A and foo.B are returned, but not foo.* ==> not Expected. I need to get only foo.*

How to search for literal `*'?

I also tried : myfield:"foo.\*", myfield:"\foo.*", myfield:{"foo.*"}, but none worked.

Documentation does not mention any way to escape special characters.
