The caret looks like this: '^'. If you try to follow a link with a caret, Everything will pretend the caret wasn't in the link. For example, ^ will take you to the Everything main page.

You are probably wondering why I am writing this... well, it's because this caret issue screwed up one of my first nodes, and I figured I should warn people. Consider yourself warned.

The caret symbol is used in the UNIX csh shell as a word designator. It is commonly used to fix typo's on a command line.

The caret is also known as a 'circumflex'.
