Description

$search does not allow to search for special chars, eg. umlauts (german ä,ö,ü), but also other chars like $, ? should be allowed.

Root cause: SearchTokenizer checks only if a character is alphanumeric!

Workaround: 

Implementing a custom query option and encode the given value with encodeURIComponent() on client side.
