How do you include characters like the "question mark" and the "less than" character in a search?
Let's say I want to do a search on these forums for:

<?php

When I do a search for that or even when using a search wild card

<?php*

I get absolutely no matches.

Surely on programming forums, such as this one, you should be able to include such characters in a search.

The closest as I can get is:

(<) AND (?) AND (PHP)

:(

Any ideas?

If u made ? not a wildcard then it would make it harder to search for other things
By the way nice avatar
