how to search for $exception and $ev special debugger variables on google or yahoo or bing

Question

I want to find out more about the $ev special variable and special variables in general. Anyone know how to search to ensure google or bing or yahoo doesn't ignore the $ sign. The usual help about using + in front of the word doesn't seem to help nor speech marks.

Yes I've tried search google for the answer, stack overflow seem to have the same problem :-)

Make your search more specific by providing context, like Visual Studio Debugger exception variable. Search engines generally don't take punctuation into account for queries, with a few exceptions that have been specifically added as rules. (You can search for "A+", but not "+A" or "A+B".)

Thanks to Miles above I realise that they are called pseudovariables or pseudoregisters and now I can search for them as I need – Preet Sangha Jun 03 '09 at 22:51
