org-mode has the following format for links:
[[<file-name>::<text-to-search>][<link text>]]
What should I do, if <text-to-search> contains ']' symbol? Like this:
$form['input']

Not sure it helps in your case, but this
* Heading containing [brackets]
* Other heading
Here is a link to [[Heading containing *%5B*brackets*%5D*][that
first heading]].
works for me.

Hi, Xiha
Unfortunately URL encoding the [ and ] doesn't work for me. Try to
reproduce it. Create 2 files:
file.txt. Content:
--------------------------------
$form['text1']
$form['text2']
--------------------------------
file.org. Content:
--------------------------------
[[./file.txt::$form%5B'text2'%5D][text2]]
--------------------------------
When I click the link, it says "No match".

While the search string is escaped elsewhere in org-link-search using
regexp-quote, it is treated as a regular expression for normal text
search. Try escaping with "\":
[[./file.txt::$form\%5B'text2'\%5D]]

It works here on a recent Org.

Thank you. I have a little outdated version. It started to work after
I used the escaped percent as Kyle Meyer suggested.

Hmm, that's weird. I'm still seeing this with emacs -Q using
release_8.3beta-1312-g8094d0.

Indeed, my bad. This should be fixed in cfe5bc9.
However, the current escaping mechanism for links in Org is not really
satisfactory. In the long run, we will need to change it.
