This in not to prove anyone wrong but hopefully it will prove the right way to go about posting searchable email addresses .
The only contact the scammer has using this email address is with me, so bearing that in mind, I will post it for seven days in this format to see what happens .
spenterton(at)yahoo.com

Well well !!
searching spenterton(at)yahoo.com = no hits from Google search at day three.
But from http://www.alltheweb.com/ =

Note
When searching Russian email addresses it's a good idea to search other mail hosts thus (irinochka95@yahoo.com) becomes (irinochka95@rambler.ru)
Many Russian romance scammers use yahoo for date site registration and Russian hosts like Rambler.ru Yandex.ru etc... for scam mail .

I've gotten lots from rambler.ru and inbox.ru, and one or two from mailgate.ru (which goes to mailgate.ru).

Date site owners who want to brush up on whether they are letting a scammer loose on their members might look further than a Yahoo registration address which might appear non Russian .When Russian scammers spam members it's very seldom the Yahoo registration address that they give as a contact .
What was your point here btw Little Miss Sunshine ?I've gotten lots from rambler.ru and inbox.ru, and one or two from mailgate.ru (which goes to mailgate.ru).

Ewkay !!
I'm still fascinated why search engines do or don't pick up text .
The above email addy irinochka in brackets has no hits yet ,it's beginning to look like posting an email address in brackets is not a good idea .
Trying this format
<spenterton@yahoo.com>
Samurai
search for <spenterton@yahoo.com> and hits come in the same as searching for spenterton(at)yahoo.com .
In less than eight hours
all the web.com is a winner here

summary :
Searching spenterton as a single unbracketed word does work with google but it does not work as a complete email address in brackets.
