Shown HN: A search engine that doesn't ignore special characters, SymbolHound

9 pointsby dncraneover 13 years ago
It's a search engine for programmers where you can search for queries with symbols in them(e.g. if you search for "&#38;&#38;" it will actually return pages with "&#38;&#38;" somewhere in them, unlike google)<p>See it here: http://symbolhound.com/<p>There's still a lot of work to be done (especially in indexing more websites, right now everything besides stackoverflow is very underrepresented, but I plan to fix that over the next few months), but it's already been useful to me.

Really cool service. A search engine that doesn't ignore punctuation has been on the wishlist of just about every programmer I know for ages. I'm surprised no one's done it sooner.<p>Given that the remainder of my week will be spent with perl and shell scripting, neither of which have I used before, I suspect you'll be getting quite a few visits from me.

That is a cool idea. I would suggest not including advertisements just yet because they are generic and probably the least appealing of all ads (besides pop-ups). Just a suggestion, though the service itself is cool.
