live log filtering breaks on '#' character

Question

For example, if I want to filter on "Packet filter rule #25", I get no results. 
 By trial and error I have determined that it breaks when I enter the '#' character.

Late to the party, but for whoever bumps into this thread via a search engine: 
 The info you see in the log log is formatted, but the filter string operates on the raw data. 
 The reason the "#" character doesn't work is that the character isn't used in the logs ar all. If you want to filter on packet filter rule 25, use fwrule="25" as a filter.

[REGEX] Replace the "#" with a "." or "\#" - Any luck with that?
