I was always frustrated that I couldn't search for symbols like >> and && using Google or the custom Stack Overflow search, so I made a search engine for programmers. It currently searches mostly Stack Overflow pages, with plans to eventually index a much wider range of programming websites. This is a problem that I know a lot of other Stack Exchange users have run into. It is frequently asked about: >http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/32879/is-it-possible-to-search-for-punctuation-special-characters >http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4685615/search-engine-for-special-characters >http://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/1479/how-to-search-the-internet-for-terms-with-special-characters ##Contact [email protected] ##Code It uses the open source <a href="http://nutch.apache.org/">Apache Nutch</a> and <a href="http://lucene.apache.org/solr/">Apache Solr</a> for crawling, indexing, and searching, with a small PHP backend for processing user queries. ###License Nutch and Solr, which power the backend of SymbolHound, both use the open source Apache license.
