Seach syntax




I've established a webglimpse archive of a unix tutorial.  Using
wgall.html in that directory I'm attempting a search for this string:

[name]   I mean the literal interpretation not a character set.

I've tried plain "[name]" (no quotes) seems to find almost everything
so assume it searches for any of those characters.

The page that displays the hits shows this query as:
Results for query "[name]".  

Ok fine try escpaing the brackets "\[name\]" (no quotes)

Using the jump to line feature, things like this are what is hylited:
\n   newline
\ddd octal value ddd
END     { printf "\n%10s %6d %5d\n", "TOTAL", area, pop }


Double escapes finds nothing  "\\[name\\]"


What is the proper syntax to find literal   "[name]" (no quotes)?
