As far as I know, if the word starts or ends with a special character, then Instant Search will ignore this special character as the index of Instant Search is word-based only.
However, if the special character is within the word such as mso#123 then you can search for this exact string by placing it between quotes "mso#123".
To search for a word which starts or ends with a special character, we can use Advanced search feature.
To do this, click Search Tools under Search tab and choose Advanced Find. Under Advanced, set following criteria.
If you want to search items containing the exact phrase 6% and not the variations such as 86% or 6%6, we can use quotation marks. For example: “6%”
