searching for parts that contain an asterisk in Aras Innovator

Is there a way within Aras Innovator to search for Part Numbers that contain the asterisk character?  I'm not sure how to search for parts containing the asterisk without the system assuming I am using a wildcard in my criteria.  It seems that the results are the same weather "Use Wildcards" is checked or not in the Search drop-down menu. On the advice of a colleague I tried these variants, none of which returned any parts containing the asterisk in their part number: *\*   and  \*      both return every part (>74k parts) *[*]        returned just 20 parts but none containing Asterisk character *\[*]      returned the same 20 parts as above *[\*]      returned the same 20 parts as above
