The easiest way is to copy the symbol from the body of the document (first
insert one and cut it if necessary) and use Ctrl+V to paste it into the
search box.

See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/FindingSpecialCharactersContent.htm#ReplacingOtherSpecChars
and the articles about special characters that are linked from it.
