Neither Google nor Bing currently index "special characters" such as ( ) ? & % € ¥ etc... <br /><br />The hyphen character between words (without spaces) are treated as an indication of sequence. That is, the query [ blue-sans-serif-bold ] is like the query [ "blue sans serif bold" ] but allows for more synonymy in the term replacement, and not quite as strong on the word order.Dan Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603209997260423532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-15832466032994966272011-08-08T10:01:45.305-07:002011-08-08T10:01:45.305-07:00Searching with terms that contain non alphanumeric...Searching with terms that contain non alphanumeric characters. For examples: PG&E AT&T, Google+ seems impossible. It often seems that some "smarts" then searches for att pge etc, which might now be what you want.
