[X4U] Searching for "@" on Google?

[Barbara Alfors]

I found this page that gives the HTML equivalent for symbol characters:
http://www.hypergurl.com/asciisymbols.html

Searching for "@home" in Google gives slightly better results than
searching for "@home" but results for "home" are mixed in.

Using yahoo.com to search for @home works, though.  Dogpile didn't work with
either method.
