I want the "+10" to show up in the search results, not just "10". For some reason it leaves out the "+".

Anyone know how? I put it in quotes, but it doesn;t work like eBay.

Special symbols such as +, -, *, /, =, <, >, $, etc cannot be searched for on Google.

Searching for "10 macro lens" gave what looked to be some valid hits. It's not like there's such a thing as a -10 macro lens, right?

actually, the "-" in front of a word demotes NOT

so if you wanted to search something like "athlon NOT duron", you would just type "athlon -duron"

the + symbol includes something that normally would be excluded.

I believe their example used to be if you wanted to search for Star Wars Episode 1, it would omit 1 because that is obviously way too common, but you could search for "Star Wars Episode +1" and it would include it in the search.
