Description
It is not possibile to add text such as #finance to a note and use it as a tag.
how To Reproduce
- Create a note and write
#category - Write
#categoryin the search bar - all notes with the word
categorywill appear as results
The same applies to ?, !, ^, /, and so on.
Allowing # to be used in the search bar would make for an intuitive tag system for notes.
Using emojis as tags, like 🪙savings works as expected, but most users will try #savings and give up because it does not work.
There is probably a function that sanitizes query input, removing #. Find and remove it.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Android search behavior with a note containing #category, then trace the query-input sanitization described in the issue. Confirm that searching for #category returns notes tagged with that text without breaking the existing handling of other punctuation, and verify the behavior on the reported app version or its current equivalent.
