Sorry if this is a duplicate question. I'm working on my searching skills.

What I get from the original post is that this question was asked then tagged as a possible bug in 2009, and then tagged with status-completed in early 2013. Also from the discussion it seems that searching for special characters is no longer possible. This was what I experienced when I tried to search for :+ and ":+" on stackoverflow.

Am I reading this correctly? Thanks for your help.

Search for code:":+"

Nick Craver commented here that this feature is currently in testing as a Advanced Super Ninja Search Option, code. So to search for !! in code, you run the query code:"!!"

    Nice, but special chars are not always in the code.

  • I agree with @nicael. It would be good to be able to search the entire post or even the title for special characters.
