How Do I Escape The Parenthesis Character In A Boolean Search Using A Search Engine?

For example, I want to search for the height “5′ 4″” on a given domain, say myspace.com. How can I search for that exact phrase, given the character to represent feet is a quotation mark? This is a special character and thus I am having trouble to get it to work. I believe have tried every possibly escape character on several search engines and can’t get it to work. Thanks in advance.

    Cool question!
    I’d try using Google to search myspace.com using a site search and eliminate the double quote ” for the inch. Your results should return all records using the 5 followed by a single quote a space then the 4. Like this:
    site:www.myspace.com “5′ 4″
