These examples were for using the user interface popup menus… If you prefer using the FoxTrot Query syntax, to search for an exact string including punctuation:
[contents…] [matches the FoxTrot query] [^:doe:john:^]

Or to search for a regular expressions:
[Contents…] [matches the FoxTrot query] [doe john `\d{12}:\d{12}:Doe:John:(male|female):::::\d\d/\d\d/\d\d\d\d `]
