Steps to reproduce:
1) Create a txt (bat etc.) file in a directory. The text will contain "\", for example \test.
2) Press Alt+F7, fill a search phrase "\test" in the "find text" field and start the search; all the search options are default (Ansi win/dos, utf 8/16 ON).
3) No results will be found.
Additional testing:
Change the file content to
a) \test no results
b) test\ ok
c) te\st ok
d) c\test no result
e) c:\test no result
f) ccc\test no result
Please, fix the bug ASAP, it is very serious for me.
Thanks

Next time let out the ASAP
and take the time to read more from the help !
The \t has to be escaped as it stands for a tab.
So you have to search for \\test

If this option is checked, you can enter text to be searched. With \t you find tabstops, and with \n line breaks (ENTER) in texts. To find a backslash \, you need to give it twice: \\ .

There should be an option at least in the wincmd.ini to enable text searching in a standard way, without automatically resolving backslash as a part of a possible escape sequence.
This one, i.e. the need of typing it twice, is really uncomfortable. Most people want to search for a phrase containing one or more backslash characters - especially in a source code / file paths. On the other side, finding a tab (\t) or a newline (\n) sequence in a file is a rare case, I personally never needed it.
Sorry for the "ASAP".
