9. Hi Martin,
That's great to hear you're featuring symbolhound in your
talk.
At this point we don't have any plans to expand
symbolhound's index -- it's in maintenance mode at this
point, so we're not really adding anything to it. If you have
suggestions for specific sites you'd like to see indexed,
though, I'll take note of them in case we ever do decide to
expand.
SymbolHound actually does include the @ symbol already.
See for example this search:
http://symbolhound.com/?q=%40
Searching for @ won't turn up email addresses, though
(assuming that's why you're interested in the @ symbol),
because query terms only do prefix-matching. That is, if you
search for the term "red" (without the quotes), it will return
pages that include terms that begin with "red" -- for
example, "red", "redo", and "reduce", but it will not return
terms that only contain red somewhere else, e.g. "tired" or
"credit" will not be returned even though they both contain
"red" in them.
