Allow the search query ~ (tilde)

I would like to see file names that contain ~ so that I can delete them to fix my sync issues. However, when I search for ~, I get a 500 error with the message "Something went wrong on our end."

Hi there esk - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

Could you please clear your browser's cache and/or use another browser and let me know if you get the same results?

 

If you do, I'd appreciate a screenshot too.

 

Thanks!

    I can reproduce the error in incognito mode on Chrome on iOS, as well. It looks like I can't attach a screenshot to this thread from mobile.
