RegEx in Search: find asterisk * and ? and others

How do I find a asterisk (astérisque; Sternchen) using the windev search function? I tried the regular expression, but there is no explanation, how to use it. The standard way of using regEx doesn't work in the search:

[*]
[*]{1}
[*]+
[*]*
[*]?

You can use the postion,contains or stringcount functions depending on your needs.

I think the backslash is required to avoid the asterisk being given a special regex meaning, eg: [\*]

Sorry, again. How do I search for question mark '?' as in "text" search the ? is a wildcard character...
