How to search for an asterisk in the search

whatsapp

I often write corrected sentences to people starting with an *.

I need to find all of these messages, but am having no luck.

How can I search for all my messages starting with the asterisk character?

Best Answer

This is not possible in Whatsapp. Due to the high amount of indexing required

After performing several tests I have reached the following conclusions

  • Whatsapp Requires a minimum of two characters before it even attempts a search
  • At least one of these characters must be a letter or a number

All tests performed using Whatsapp web app

so if you know even the first letter of the correction you were trying to make e.g *appple and searched for *a it would come up. A possible workaround would be to perform 24 searches using every letter of the alphabet following *
