I've been using "detexify" since grad school which was a decade ago or so.
It's by far the best tool for LaTeX I've ever used. You just have to draw the symbol and it uses pattern recognition algorithms to suggest the closest LaTeX keyword.
I tried to find nabla (∇) as it is a very common symbol in engineering. Tried 'differential', 'derivative', 'delta', even 'triangle', but didn't get it.
Finally tried 'nabla'. Turns out it's just not there :(
Is there a downloadable dump available, in case I or anyone else don’t want to reveal exactly what symbols we’re typing into our (possibly confidential) documents?
