Ask Offers Non-Alphanumeric Search :P

Ask's first iteration of non-alphanumeric search is cute. You can type emoticons into the Ask search bar and get back definitions.

Notable in their post today though is the line, "we plan on doing more with non-alphanumeric searching in the future."

This gets me thinking in the search operator direction, and the development of an easier "short hand" for new types of searches at Ask.

Then again maybe they're just going to add new emoticons :P
