good first issue

Description

if a attribute value has * and we filter on that attribute and select the value containing * in it that is not getting searched in the inline search criteria of angular UI grid.

Eg: I want to search the phrase "ankle & jeans" which is present in my angular UI grid and when I am searching it in the angular UI grid search criteria : "& jeans" , I am not getting any results. This is a problem with the UI grid and has there been any fix done for this.

Please suggest

Research direction
Investigate the inline search implementation in the ui grid repository, particularly the filter logic that handles special characters. Look for regex related code in the grid's search/filter services, such as the `search` provider or `filter` module. Examine any existing tests or recent PRs related to special character handling. The bug report indicates that the asterisk character is not escaped properly in search queries.
