1It fails for "asp.net" as well (strips the period, ending up with "aspnet"). careers.stackoverflow.com/Jobs?searchTerm=asp.net And C++: careers.stackoverflow.com/Jobs?searchTerm=c++– Jon SeigelCommented Jun 23, 2010 at 23:48

2I was really hoping using c%23 would work, but it translates that to a pound sign, and then discards it anyway. Humorously, if you search for c%23, the "what" box says "c#", but if you enter c# in the url the "what" box says "c". Both are still searching just c.– Grace Note StaffModCommented Jun 23, 2010 at 23:49
