New-MailboxSearch with AQS for special characters

Question

I've been asked to perform a specific query for a term with a leading dollar sign ('$'): $123,123.00.  When I run the query for a leading dollar sign the keyword search term in the result appears as:
Body:',123.00' 
It doesn't work if I use a backslash literal with the dollar sign either.  The result in the report is:
Body:' \,123.00 ' 
Searching for Body:'123,123.00$' works: 
Body:'123,123.00$'
How do I search for leading special characters? Would '*123,123.00*" find the string I am looking for?

Hi,
I have some tests in my lab:
1. When I run the following cmdlet, it works. I recommend you run the following cmdlet to achieve your search.
New-MailboxSearch -Name "1" -TargetMailbox
[email protected] -SearchQuery "$ 123,123.00"
2. When the SearchQuery is "\123,123.00", it also works.
3. When the SearchQuery is "*123,123.00*", it occurs the error below: Suffix matching isn't supported. Please remove the prefix '*' or type another query. The '*' character is not supported for search.
Hope it helps.
If you need further assistance, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
Amy
