I try to nodes with property that contains some text with special character like ? + and !

I have 4 nodes

/tmp/exclamation[@prop="value with!"]
/tmp/plus[@prop="value with+"]
/tmp/question[@prop="value with?"]
/tmp/string[@prop="value with string"]

/jcr:root/tmp//*[(jcr:contains(@prop, 'with') )] return me all 4 nodes
/jcr:root/tmp//*[(jcr:contains(@prop, 'with\!') )] return me all 4 nodes
/jcr:root/tmp//*[(jcr:contains(@prop, 'with\?') )] return me all 4 nodes
/jcr:root/tmp//*[(jcr:contains(@prop, 'with\+') )] return me all 4 nodes

How I should correctly escape ! + ? to get only node that mach my search criteria?

The default analyzer used in CQ does not index special characters, and just create separate tokens in Lucene for words containing them. Use different LuceneAnalyzers per your need for your property & verify.
