What exactly are you trying to find? You could use the HTML code I suppose for an asterisk: ∗

See if that works.

thanx.
yet, seems to work for some sites only. (initialy, i wanted to google something on "**" parameter prefix in python - you get nothing using HTML code...)

Well for the code search you can use Google Code Search...

thanx, yet if i'm not mistaken, it searches in pieces of code only, not in texts on coding, which i was interested in in the abovementioned case...
