Can't search tags starting with # #566

Description

@CampelloManuel

It is not possibile to add text such as #finance to a note and use it as a tag.

how To Reproduce

  1. Create a note and write #category
  2. Write #category in the search bar
  3. all notes with the word category will appear as results

The same applies to ?, !, ^, /, and so on.
Allowing # to be used in the search bar would make for an intuitive tag system for notes.

Using emojis as tags, like 🪙savings works as expected, but most users will try #savings and give up because it does not work.

There is probably a function that sanitizes query input, removing #. Find and remove it.
