Special Character search is not working Google Search Engine"

Reported by ck.vi...@gmail.com, Oct 26 2016 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/53.0.2785.143 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
(1) Open a Google search.
(2) Type "^Meaning" or "&Meaning"
(3) Click on Google search

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

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

Did this work before? No

Able to reproduce this issue on the chrome with latest version 53.02785.143
Also seeing the same behaviour on firefox and safari browsers too. 

Issue seems not specific to the chrome browser but it is related to "Google Search".

Request you to please confirm from your end as well.

Thank You...

Able to repro the issue on Win7/64 bit [54.0.2840.99] & Mac OSX 10.11.6 [54.0.2840.98]

I do not see Yahoo or Bing search engines also providing the results [meaning of special characters] as expected in the description.

ck.vijay@, can you please check at your end as well ?
