Can you elaborate on this some more? Are you talking about Unicode
characters in the Insert | Symbol dialog?

When looking for symbols in Office programs such as word, it would be
useful
to have a search function where one could search by what we call a
character.

The categories used in word don't always mean much to me, and thus don't
help me find the symbol I need.
