Unable to Search for Items with a Hyphen ("-") in the Description

There is an item whose description is set to the string “12345-67890-12345”.
When I search using the filter Description: like %12345%, the item is found.
However, when I use the filter Description: like %12345-%, the item is not found.

Could you please tell me how to search for strings that include a hyphen (“-”)?

 

Best regards

I believe you need to add a ~ before the search. So it would be %12345~-%. The ~ is an escape character in this case.
