I looks like EA isn't escaping the wildcards used when searching.  We'll fix this, but until we do, you can escape the wildcards yourself.

For access databases (which you are using since ? is causing a problem) the following escape sequences will be needed.  (Other databases will be different.)
  • '[?]' instead of '?'
  • '
  • ' instead of '#'
  • '[* ]' instead of '*' (extra space added just to stop YaBB formatting.)
