My experience is that   ^Genius
does work, but putting the dollar sign on the end does not.  That'll be
because the string that's being tested contains lots of stuff after the
initial word "Genius".

I more often code things like

  ^Genius.*ode 3

if for example I want to find episode 3 of that programme.

If you include a colon try escaping it by typing a backslash in front of it,
eg:

  ^Genius\:
