[BUG] Can't create index pattern with special characters

Describe the bug When creating an index pattern with special character it doesn’t find the existing indices and doesn’t let you create the index pattern. If you encode the pattern for url, it finds the indices and lets you create the index pattern, but later gives errors because it doesn’t find any indices that match.

To Reproduce

1. Create an index called [my-app]-1
2. Go to Stack Management > Index Patterns > Create index pattern
3. Use the pattern [my-app]-*
4. It will show the error that no indices match the pattern and won’t let you create the index pattern
5. Bellow, indices matching will highlight with bold text where the pattern matches
6. Use the pattern %5Bmy-app%5D-* which is url encoded
7. It will show the message that matching indices were found
8. Bellow, indices matching won’t highlight with bold text where the pattern matches
9. Press next
10. It will show a message saying there are no fields for the matching indices
11. Press create
12. It will show errors saying no matching indices where found

Expected behavior It should find the matching indices using the pattern [my-app]-*, let you create the index pattern and find the fields.

Ok I have checked and you are right it has been fixed in 1.1.

@camAtGitHub I checked and yes it also happens in 1.1, but i think you should probably open an issue in opensearch-project/index-management-dashboards-plugin as I understand it that’s where that issue is.

I’m closing this issue, thanks for your help.
