Special Character search is not working Google Search Engine"

Reported by ck.vi...@gmail.com, Oct 24 2016

Issue description

Chrome Version       : Version 53.0.2785.143 m
URLs (if applicable) : https://www.google.com/#q=%5E%20meaning
Other browsers tested:
  Add OK or FAIL, along with the version, after other browsers where you
have tested this issue:
     Safari:
    Firefox:
         IE: Internet Explorer version 10

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Open a Google search.
(2) Type "^Meaning" or "&Meaning"
(3) Click on Google search

What is the expected result?
Expected Result is, it should display the meaning of the Special Characters ^ &.

What happens instead?
Instead of the expected result, it displays the meaning of the word "Meaning". Search Engine is ignoring the special characters like ^ & * ( ) etc.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
I have attached the screenshot for your reference.

Either in general or Technically, each & every 'special characters' are having a Meaning individually. When a user doesn't know the meaning of these special characters, they would generally search the Google Engine search.

Happens in Firefox as well. You need to log a ticket against search via https://support.google.com/

This bug reporting tool is only for Chrome and Chromium and since the issue happens in Firefox as well it would be a website issue.
