It keeps telling me an apostrophe is the number 39. No, but seriously it looks neat. What are the websites it queries for results? I've seen Yahoo! and Wikipedia so far.


I replied to this above. Just:

'Wikipedia, Yahoo Answers, Google Answers (lawl), Quora, Stackoverflow.'

Stackoverflow comes up when you do coding questions, yahoo answers when you do just random questions. Although, Quora doesn't appear as often as I like. I need to do a bit of tweaking.

Here's an example where Quora comes up: http://foobub.com/?s=vu0tran


Pretty cool, I actually searched for Quora as one of the first queries and was surprised it showed up, now I see why!

I'm impressed with the results for most (obviously not esoteric) searches.

One thing: lots of URLs don't wrap or truncate, so you get some overflow, example: http://foobub.com/?s=how+is+babby+form


&#39 gives ' (ie it's the ASCII in hex of apostrophe)
