Splunk Search

Why when I use "\\" it shows results with only one "\"

I'm currently creating a search and in my search I entered the following

source="FileName.csv" \ OR SMS

In the results it shows events with a Single "\" and double "\". I need to show results with two "\" not only one.

I've tried:

\
"\"
punct=*\*

But still it shows only results with only one "\". What can be done so the results show results where there is actually two "\"?

Regards

use "\" for single slash and use "\\" for double slash. Because splunk use slash as an escape character.
