When searching for "MON$ATTACHMENTS"" it searches for "MONATTACHMENTS".
Likewise, searching for "MON$ATTACHMENTS" still searches for "MONATTACHMENTS".
It seems like it is impossible to search for something with a $ (dollar sign) in it.
It should have found (at least) this one.
Quoting it appears to work, at least now in 2012:

Note that if you're specifically looking for a value in code (such as a $-prefixed variable in PHP), you can use the semi-secret code: operator to do so: code:"$i" vs. "$i" (the latter finds occurrences of "i" without the $ prefix).
