How to find a file path like `\companypath` while in edit mode in a browser editor like confluence
When editing a page in confluence CTRL-f brings you to a find-and-replace dialogue instead of the find field of your browser. When filling in a file path in the find box of this dialogue, you don't find that file path.
I assume this is because backslash is an escape character, so I tried doubling the back slashes, but that does not work. Replacing them by typical wild chard characters, like *, . or ? does not work either.
Does anyone have a sollution?

According to doc:
Note: Confluence doesn't support leading wildcards. This means searching for *heese will not return cheese.
So, if you search for \companypath, *company?path will not return anything.
I'd use: company?path, without the leading wildcard.
