[Developers] Searching for ?

[Tim Sturge]

Hi Arthur,

This should be possible, although you need two backslashes before the ?, 
not just one. That's because JSON itself handles the single backslash 
escapes, and is very much like how regular expressions work in many 
programming languages.

So

"feed~=": "\\?",

should give you only those podcasts with a query component in the URL.
