How do I search for '[' character?

I use the '[' character in many of my text objects (for example, a prompt that reads "[space] to continue"), but I need to escape that character with backslash in order for C3 to render it properly. But if I try to search for '[' in the C3 find bar, no results are returned. What should I search for to return everything that includes the '[' character? I tried [, \[, \\[, "\[", but nothing has worked so far. If I search for "\", it will find "\[space] to continue", but will show it as "\ to continue".

Is this a bug/limitation, or is there a certain character sequence I need to use?

This is clearly a bug, I suggest reporting it here:

github.com/Scirra/Construct-bugs/issues

You can mention in the report that it may be related to this issue.

Also, if you haven't done this already, I suggest disabling BBCode on text objects.

Thanks dop2000 - you're always so helpful with these questions! I'll submit a ticket.

Can you explain why you recommend disabling BBCode?

If you are not using BBcode, you should disable it - then I believe you won't need to escape "[" character in your texts.
