I would like to narrow a search, let's say that I would like to find an email address on a specifil domain, how would the syntax have to look alike so that google won't void results including that specific string?

Let's say I'd enter this "@test.+com" so that google would spit out all email addresses that are in google's index but instead of that it only gives me queries that include test.com without the @ symbol as prefix.

I looked into their seach tips page and it says that I should add a + symbol to the "stop word" (if it is a stop word) but still I get the same results.

any ideas?

I think you answered that yourself... do you think Google have some resources to give for all these people looking for email addresses?

Try this one [google.com...]

It is ignored.

Sorry, I don't think Google searches for symbols, etc. It looks like you can rig something by search for the e-mail address with a space where the @ is. For example, support@google.com would be
"support google.+com" I don't know how you could get all e-mail addresses for a particular domain, however.

They have been selective on the symbols they support...
