I just try to be as direct as possible to get what I'm looking for. - Hayl, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Lame. There is nothing "pro" in the article at all.

Answer: It is your fault. - nnnr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Just use chacha.com and search with a real person. I do that when I'm having trouble finding something.
- spectre_25gt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Does anyone know if there's a way to do a completely literal search? Every once in a while I want to search for symbols, and Google just ignores them.

Oh sure, why not apply this crap mentality to every guy that invests his time posting useful information(to most) - subgeniusd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I totally agree. My "webworld" is based out of a huge MyYahoo webspace. So by default I've been using Yahoo search for the past few years and usually just go to Big Mama or Dogpile if Yahoo does not get it.
