Some google tricks ;)

vinod_41 · 02-16-2008, 09:33 AM

A few things you might want to try with Google:

Hand type the following prefixes and note their utility:

link:url Shows other pages with links to that url.

related:url same as "what's related" on serps.

site:domain restricts search results to the given domain.

allinurl: shows only pages with all terms in the url.

inurl: like allinurl, but only for the next query word.

allintitle: shows only results with terms in title.

intitle: similar to allintitle, but only for the next word. "intitle:webmasterworld google" finds only pages with webmasterworld in the title, and google anywhere on the page.

cache:url will show the Google version of the passed url.

info:url will show a page containing links to related searches, backlinks, and pages containing the url. This is the same as typing the url into the search box.

spell: will spell check your query and search for it.

stocks: will lookup the search query in a stock index.

filetype: will restrict searches to that filetype. "-filetype:doc" to remove Microsoft word files.

daterange: is supported in Julian date format only. 2452384 is an example of a Julian date.

maps: If you enter a street address, a link to Yahoo Maps and to MapBlast will be presented.

phone: enter anything that looks like a phone number to have a name and address displayed. Same is true for something that looks like an address (include a name and zip code)

site:www.somesite.net "+www.somesite.+net"
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/webmaster-tutorials/433177-some-google-tricks.html
(tells you how many pages of your site are indexed by google)

allintext: searches only within text of pages, but not in the links or page title

allinlinks: searches only within links, not text or title

I hope there is something new in here for you and maybe this infos will be helpfull for you. (i've posted this at recoveryandforensic.net)

very useful hints, thanks!

dotnom · 06-10-2008, 06:37 PM

I was searching for a feature that apparently Google doesn't have yet
-Unique results
When you query for something you get various results and many times you get results from the same site more than once

Also i didn't figure out yet if/how i can get results without subdirectories (only plain domains for example)

From what i know these two features are not yet implement to Mr. Google

popopo · 06-11-2008, 01:22 AM

stocks: will lookup the search query in a stock index. i never know about that, let's try.
