How to search "/" for a particular field in browser?

when I search fieldName:/ in the search filter in the Browser window, too many notes are returned that don’t even have slashes in fieldName.

I have tried the following:

fieldName:/
fieldName:/
fieldName:re:./.
fieldName:re:./.

these either return nothing or too much

hmmm for some reason anki forums have hidden asterisks. Here is a screenshot of the things I have tried instead:

[The forum just over-helpfully processed those * into Markdown as italics.]

I bet all of those fields do have forward-slashes in them, because every field is built from underlying HTML – which is riddled with forward-slashes (especially if you have formatting, and it doesn’t take much!). Expand the < > above the field to see the HTML directly.

You might need to search for something more specific.
