My pet peeve: there are still many developer-oriented sites (including this site) that can't handle special characters in search. For example, searching for `C#` or `C++` returns C, C++, C# results.

I just added a parameter taking into account # and + for C# and C++. The results goes from 140 without to 27 and 111 with.
Oh dear this is a pet peeve when I was searching for pirated video tutorials back then.
