How does one search for words with characters like # and +.   I have tried

I would guess that your analysis chain (in schema.xml) includes 
something that removes and/or splits terms at non-alphanumeric 
characters.  There are a several components that do this, but 
WordDelimiterFilter is the one that comes to mind most readily.  I've 
never used the StandardTokenizer, but I believe it might do something 
similar.
