how to search for addr:postcode and similar with JOSM

I am not able to search for addr:postcode in JOSM, because the colon is used as a delimiter between key and value (if value is only partially given, if I got it right).

Do I have to somehow escape the colon? Or is it just impossible to search for colon separated keys?

try escaping with a backslash \ in fromt of the colon, that may work.
