XF 1.5 Is there any way to search for this: ....

[Alpha1]

I am trying to find posts that only have 4 dots in them. But the search engine does not let me use dots as a search query. Is there any way to do this?

I do have @Xon 's word count search which lets me search for very short posts. Its only a matter of searching for dots.

I don't believe MySQL or elasticsearch allows that string to be indexed/searched.

I was able to do an exact search through phpmyadmin and work from there.
