[X4U] Searching for "@" on Google?

[Brett Conlon]

Next to the Google search field (web page not Safari's search field) click 
on "Advanced Search" and use the "with the exact phrase" field only.

I use this from time to time to really wead out the silly stuff.

As the original poster noted, putting it in quotes does NOT improve the
results. I've encountered the same problem with the '.' character. For
instance, when I searched for information regarding .tivo files, when I
entered .tivo into Google, it returned results matching 'tivo' and when I
typed in ".tivo" it returned the exact same results. There seem to be
certain characters that Google completely ignores. If anyone else finds a
way around this, I'd be interested in hearing it.
