How would I filter for C++ in the "Find Clear" sec

I was trying to find some books on C++ and I couldn't figure out a way that would work. Each time I typed it in, nothing changed in the window. :)

Have you tried something like c\+\+ on the basis that the '+' character has special meaning in regular expressions, so would need escaping to be taken literally.

ahh...cool.....so if I were looking for something that started or had (POSTS) in it I would put \(\POSTS\) for the search parameter? Or I guess it would work with just (\POSTS\) as well, huh? Damn I hate programming....lol.
