Seach engine help

Why do search engines ignore certain symbols?

I'm looking for info on the new K6-2+ processor. I generally use dogpile. The problem is it ignores the "+" and only returns info on the K6-2. I've had the same problem with pricewatch and pricegrabber.

Any tips?

Try typing "plus" instead of"+"

Also try putting the search subject totally in parenthesis. IE ("amd k62+"

I tell my son that grades are a reflection of his attitude on life. If he is willing to accept mediocrity in grades then he will be willing to accept mediocrity the rest of his life.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I had already tried quotation marks. No luck. It completely ignores the + symbol anyway.

Spelling out plus produced a few hits but misses many articles I've already seen, such as those at Tom's Hardware page.
