I figured out a way to do it... I have a feeling google will stop it soon, but for now you can see how I did it on my blog^^

You can find it here:

Blog about @ signs

Enjoy^^

Mike,

You are a true genius. It does look for @ibm including the "@". Google Coop Synonyms opens up a new playground. :)

Have you explored synonyms some more? If we want to find email addresses, I think, we need some more tricks. It seems to look for the word @ibm with a space before it.
I noticed that it doesn't like a period in a synonym, but it does accept a good number of other special characters, such as the question mark.
Irina - I thought google doesn't recognize special characters? Also - could u please explain what Google Coop is?

Thanks-

Irina,

yes... playground couldn't be a better description. it's a little funny, but if you play with things, you can make them work. i had problems trying to embed the synonyms into the background... took a long time to make that work, and it only seems to work about 50% of the time.

also, if you play w/ the index feature inside of the coop.... you can force google to index specific sites which is like... ridiculous. so if you find a site w/ info and possibly backdoors, you can force google to index all areas of it which is... amazing

Gary:

concerning google's search for special characters, currently law prohibits such things. there are work arounds, and this one happens to be one, though I don't know how long google will allow this since... well, i've kind of exposed it.

the google coop is a custom search engine you define. you tell it what sites you want it to exclude, or include as well as pre-define strings as refinements which you can apply w/ a simple mouse click. this allows you to stack multiple strings, far exceeding the typical 32 limit. you should make one and play w/ it yourself. when logged into your google account, just visit this link and it'll take you to the "make coop" page.
