Description Lakshmi P Shanmugam CLA 2019-07-24 00:32:13 EDT 
There is no option to ignore a character or characters during the text search.

For example when searching for Down or External, search doesn't find D&own or E&xternal in the properties file. This could work if there is a way to tell search to ignore '&'.

The solution could be generic where we can specify or choose the ignore character.
