|
56 ** Cached Results Page. |
|
57 |
|
58 The query prefix "cache:" returns the cached HTML version of the specified web document that the |
|
59 Google search crawled. Note there can be no space between "cache:" and the web page URL. If you |
|
60 include other words in the query, Google will highlight those words within the cached document. |
|
61 |
|
62 cache:www.google.com |
|
63 |
|
64 Use Google as a free proxy (if direct access bloked): cache:example.com |
|
65 |
|
66 ** Title Search. |
|
67 |
|
68 Restricts the results to those with all of the query words in the title. |
|
69 |
|
70 intitle:WORD1 intitle:WORD2 WORD3 |
|
71 allintitle:WORD1 WORD2 |
|
72 |
|
73 Note: Putting "intitle:" in front of every word in your query is equivalent to putting "allintitle:" |
|
74 at the front of your query. |
|
75 |
|
76 ** URL Search. |
|
77 |
|
78 If you prepend "inurl:" to a query term, Google search restricts the results to documents containing |
|
79 that word in the result URL. Note there can be no space between the "inurl:" and the following word. |
|
80 |
|
81 Starting a query with the term "allinlinks:" restricts the results to those with all of the query |
|
82 words in the URL links on the page. |
|
83 |
|
84 inurl:WORD1 inurl:WORD2 WORD |
|
85 allinurl: WORD1 WORD2 |
|
86 |
|
87 Note: "inurl:" works only on words, not URL components. In particular, it ignores punctuation and |
|
88 uses only the first word following the "inurl:" operator. To find multiple words in a result URL, |
|
89 use the "inurl:" operator for each word. |
|
90 |
|
91 Note: Putting "inurl:" in front of every word in your query is equivalent to putting "allinurl:" at |
|
92 the front of your query. |
|
93 |
|
94 ** Text Only Search. |
|
95 |
|
96 Starting a query with the term "allintext:" restricts the results to those with all of the query |
|
97 words in only the body text, ignoring link, URL, and title matches. |

|
101 ** File Type Filtering. |
|
102 |

|
104 extension specified immediately after. Note there can be no space between "filetype:" and the |
|
105 specified extension. |
|

|
108 |
|
109 ** File Type Exclusion. |
|
110 |
|
111 The query prefix "-filetype:" filters the results to exclude documents with the extension specified |
|
112 immediately after. Note there can be no space between "-filetype:" and the specified extension. |
|
113 |
|

|
