I think there is some confusion here. You seem to be expecting that you 
would find the glyph (e.g.) '<' by typing '<' into the search l.e., 
whereas I *think* the search l.e. is actually for searching by 
/description/, i.e. you would search for "less than" to find '<', which 
seems sensible.

But I'm not 100% sure so maybe someone else can confirm. :-)
