Sometimes when searching it would be really nice if google would search on something other then just letters and numbers. For example, a while ago I was browsing through someone elses php code (zen-cart I think [sick]) and noticed the had @ sprinkled around throught the app before functions. At the time I had no idea what the hell it ment and doing a search for php @ is useless. There are also a number of instances when it would be handy when working with any programming language where syntax xould involve [] {} () * or any combination there of. Does anyone know of a search engine that DOES allow non alpha numeric searches? Is there a reason why a search engine wouldn't allow you to? Are those characters not indexed? How would you search for 'php @'?
