Ah ok that makes sense, thanks. I'm just mainly surprised at how little usage there was of the operator to begin with. I use it (used to use it) probably 20+ times a day, and would've assumed that it's common enough, at least in certain circles (academia etc).
Okay, I found the sample data. Lots of stuff like phone numbers: +XXX YYY ZZZZ. Lots of multiple plus searches, like +++++aaaa. Lots of people using + instead of space: aaa+bbb+ccc. Lots of searches with every word having a plus in front of each word: +aaa +bbb +ccc +ddd +eee. Some people surrounding words with plus: aaa +bbb+ ccc. Those were the first things that popped up in a quick glance.
Thanks a million man, so basically it seems like those people weren't actually meaning to use the operator at all. Sure you already parse them out anyway, though. Ah...i wont go on too much, i'm still surprised that so few people used it on purpose! Thanks again
