How do I search verbatim within obsidian

Help
1

What I’m trying to do

Search for a string verbatim: for example i want to search the word ABC but only at the start of a list (assuming I only use - for lists) or as a heading.

Things I have tried

Typing - ABC in search box.

They are just plain text files so I can search outside obsidian for verbatim matches, but it would be nice to search and jump to the location within obsidian

Use quotes for exact matches.

"- example" OR "# example"

If by “start of a list” you mean “only in the first item of a list” (rather than “start of a list item”), if thats possible it will involve a regular expression.
