I entered the following line in an article template

{if contains( $FIRST_NAME_RAW,'&' ) or contains( $FIRST_NAME_RAW,'+' ) or contains( $FIRST_NAME_RAW,',' )}

When I try to save a F2C article I get the error message

Syntax Error in template "/home/teenki1q/public_html/media/com_form2content/templates/custom_main_template_model public profiles.tpl" on line 29 "{if contains( $FIRST_NAME_RAW,'&' ) or contains( $FIRST_NAME_RAW,'+' ) or contains( $FIRST_NAME_RAW,',' )}" unknown function "contains"

I guess I am doing something wrong...

I finally managed to get it working by using the strstr modifier:

{if $FIRST_NAME_RAW|strstr:"&" or $FIRST_NAME_RAW|strstr:"+" or $FIRST_NAME_RAW|strstr:","}

Have you tried this syntax?
https://documentation.form2content.com/documentation/f2c-smarty-code-snippets/44-checking-a-field-for-a-value-if-contains

Another way might be:
