Why not let the backends decide if they support a search string or not?
They could raise an ERROR_SEARCH_MULTIPLE_TERMS_UNSUPPORTED.

Furthermore I would suggest giving a visual feedback in form of a
modified background colour of the text entry or the specific character
instead of a dialog. This is important for search as you type.

Alternatively you could silently filter unwanted characters from the
search string. Take a look at google search.

Cheers,

Sebastian
