Punctuation Search Results Upgraded By Google

By: Navneet Kaushal


In a fresh upgrade involving punctuation marks, Google has updated its search results. So, now when you search for a ; as in semicolon, you will now get search results. While some of the results are relevant, some may be not (the search for / slash reveals a music band with the same name on top). Here is what the search for ! reveals:

Google Symbol



This was reported by Google Operating System that Google was showing results for some punctuation symbols, as opposed to earlier, where it did not index them. Now you can see results for symbols/punctuation marks like:



  1. -.-- Full Stop

  2. -,-- Comma

  3. -:-- Colon

  4. -;-- Semicolon

  5. -#-- Hash

  6. -%-- Percent


  7. -@-- At

  8. ---- Carat

  9. -)-- Brackets

  10. -~-- Tilde

  11. -|-- Vertical Bar

  12. -"-- Quotes

  13. -<- Less than/Greater Than

  14. -$-- Dollar symbol


  15. -!-- Exclamation Mark

  17. -&-- Ampersand

  18. - _ -- Underscore
