Thanks for your replying.

It uses the grep command to speed up the searching in directory function.
grep treat patterns as regular expressions even you don't check that.
[ and $ are both key characters of regular expression and make your pattern a 
bad regex pattern.
That's why searching in directory function found nothing.

I will try to fix this.

Fix at v3.3.4.
Please try it again.

The solution is ugly, and I think the problem is not solved completely.
My suggestion is using the function carefully when searching non-alphanumeric 
characters.

Please let me know if there are any problem.
Any suggestion or idea is welcome.

No, 3.3.4 still cannot find some of the patterns:

t => [
=> [

And issue 48 also broke.

Thanks for testing and replying

As I post before, the problem is about grep.
Any idea how to search the patterns that you listed with grep command?

Or I can just stop using grep, but that will make the function much slower.

Perhaps try grep -F if not using regular expression?

Try v3.3.5.
I think the problem is solved.
Thanks for your advice.
