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

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the inline search filter implementation in the ui grid source code. Locate the function that handles search queries and check if special characters like '*' are properly escaped or handled. Look at the filterInput directive and the related search logic.
