Intermedia search for "<"

I'm trying to resolve an issue where CLOBS and LONGS contain a less-than sign. I need to find another occurrence of this to ensure that I'm correct, but can't find one. Does anyone know the correct sql for a fulltext search on "<"?
I've tried all of the usual suspects:

select * from abstracts_t where contains(abstract_text,'<') > 0; select * from abstracts_t where contains(abstract_text,'\<') > 0; etc etc
None of which return any records (I know that at least one occurrence of abstract_text contains a <).

It's as though it doesn't recognize the '<'. Any help would be tremendous. Thanks in advance.
