Listings - Improve list.js special character handling

Taken from: javve/list.js#699

Since regex searching isnt used any longer, this escaping isn’t necessary, but it hasn’t been fixed upstream.

Fixes #8435

I believe that the searching is fuzzy, so the `-` doesn’t really provide very functional search filtering. (though other examples like ? are more functional)
