Just noticed a tweet from @ej from a couple days ago that this is working now. Just tried it out, works great! Thanks a lot for adding this.

Not quite. Your search example also matched just AAPL results (without a $). It will highlight (make bold) the $ character if it appears in the search result, but it does not actually match the $ in the original search.

[twitter-dev] Re: Include $ as a searchable character
Jonathan, I believe Chad wants just the dollar sign. Searching on just $ will return an error, you must enter a query. And searching on $AAPL is really searched as AAPL as the dollar sign is stripped. I assume this is easy to enable, though technically challenging (to scale) as it requires an index on a single character. You'll notice searches for '@' and '#' return similar errors as they are not independently indexed either. @dougw (Sent from my mobile device) -Original Message- From: Jonathan Markwell j.l.markw...@inuda.com Date: Sat, 21 Feb 2009 01:08:31 To: twitter-development-talk@googlegroups.com Subject: [twitter-dev] Re: Include $ as a searchable character It is already: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%24AAPL On Fri, Feb 20, 2009 at 8:38 PM, Chad Etzel jazzyc...@gmail.com wrote: Would it be possible to include $ as a searchable character, much like # is for hashtags?
