I have tried all kinds of syntax variations and I cant query for "#Success"

```auto
#Success
/\W[S]uccess
/\W[S]uccess/
\#Success

```

Its tough because I don't see the "#" as a special character.  
Most of the search results show 'success' and 'Success' but I need to capture the "#' in the results "#Success"

Thoughts please

Thanks

Hi @newmember,

Where in Kibana are you trying to do the search?
