I remember posting a similar problem a year or so back, but a quick search fails to retrieve the answer. It really is extremely frustrating when FrameMaker blandly refuses to find a character you've just copied into the Search dialogue from the current document ... 

The solid star character in Wingdings might be ANSI 171, which is \xab (or, mysteriously, \xc7) for FrameMaker. I've tried a search using Alt+171, backslash codes with or without a space afterwards, FM shortcut sequences and even copy/paste. The star just sits there, smugly untouchable as a politician. 

I'll follow this thread with interest, and hope someone gets you the answer soon.
