Since this is a developer's forum, a lot of things you might want to search up might involve different symbols or operators.

No search engine ever allows this unfortunately; but BYOND's search engine can be expanded to include this, right?

Lummox JR	We've talked occasionally about adding in a specialized text search library to the site by hooking it up to the database, but it's not a trivial thing. Given the fact that this is never seen on the Web, I suspect the library we had in mind is no more capable of that than any other.
