Sorry, I hate to nitpick but that one really annoys me.

Tsk... didn't you know that google has to purchase every web page it displays in its search results

Cheers for the reply. I just tried that and clicked on the first 4 or 5 pages that google bought back. Thjen I did edit->find on page. None had @override in.

What am I doing wrong?

Search for "override annotation". What do you need to know about this?

It's worth searching for atoverride too as some sites will include that to get around Google.

It looks like they ignore:

! ? , . ; [ ] @ / # < > .

except under certain circumstances (e.g. it recognises that "[email protected]" looks like an email address)

Really appreciate the replies so far. I can see that the more posts a user has the better they are.

Many thanks! That finds me the defintion of @override which was what I was looking for!

Interestingly though the first link from google does not contain @override. I am interested (for a purely nerdy point of view) if I can get google to match the exact string? Is it impossible?

@ is ignored by google, it seems.

Try searching just for @ and you get no pages found...

Linky.

Stick it in double quotes

"@override"

I wish to search google for "@override" : but it insists on removing the @.

How can I do a search for exactly that string?
