Feature Request (Possible Bug): Allow searching for explicit * character in search field

[rex]

At the moment, entering a query in the search field like resque:worker:* works great when looking for all keys starting with resque:worker:, like resque:worker:123456. It works much less great, however, when the key I am looking for has * explicitly in the name.

Is there any way to escape the * character so we can perform these searches?

• If so, then this is a bug report
• If not, then this is a feature request

There's no way to search * character currently. Using \ as an escape character should be a solution. I'll implement it soon.

[rex]

It is admittedly an edge case but would be useful for those of us using Resque or something that adds keys containing * to Redis.

Thank you!

Aha, my fault. The backslash sequence is already supported.

@luin Wow, I absolutely cannot believe I caused all this ruckus and it's already supported.

I can confirm that this works perfectly fine in the version I already had installed.

I feel a bit silly for having opened this issue and wasted your time, @luin. Thank you so much for being kind in your response. It's been a very, very long few weeks 😵
