How should I be googling for an email address in a way that minimizes false positives (while avoiding false negatives)?That is, just searching the email address isn't enough, since you end up with a lot of false positives.For example, searching Adam@lifehacker.com doesn't really give conclusive results, since Google doesn't treat the @ as a string-preserving character. (I'm using the email address of the editor of Lifehacker as an example, since its publicly available, ie, on the Lifehacker sidebar).Searching Adam@lifehacker.com is better, but its still subject to false positives. Lately, I've been trying (adam@lifehacker.com), and it seems to be a huge improvement over the other two.
