cache:
The search engine keeps the
text of the many documents it crawls available in a backed-up format known
as "cache." A cached version of a web page can be retrieved if the original
page is unavailable (for example, the page's server is down). The cached
page appears exactly as it looked when the crawler last crawled it and
includes a message (at the top of the page) to indicate that it's a cached
version of the page.
The query [cache:] shows the cached version of the web page. For
instance, [cache:www.dnb.com] shows the cached page of Google's
homepage.
Note: There can be no space between cache: and the web
page URL in the query.
If you include other words in the query, those words will be highlighted
within the cached document. For instance, [cache:www.dnb.com press releases]
shows the cached content with the words "press" and "releases" highlighted.
info:
The query [info:] returns all information available for that particular
URL. For instance, [info:www.dnb.com] shows information about the
D&B homepage. Note there can be no space between the info:
and the web page URL.
site:
If you include [site:] in your query, the results are restricted
to those websites in the given domain. For instance, [help site:www.dnb.com]
finds pages about help within www.dnb.com. [help site:com]
finds pages about help within .com URLs.
Note: There can be no space between the "site:" and the
domain.
allintitle:
If you start a query with [allintitle:], the results are restricted
to documents with all of the query words in the document's HTML title. For
example, [allintitle: dnb search] only returns documents that have
both "dnb" and "search" in the HTML title.
intitle:
If you include [intitle:] in your query, the search is restricted
to results with documents containing that word in the HTML title. For example,
[intitle:dnb search] returns documents that mention the word "dnb"
in their HTML title, and mention the word "search" anywhere in the document
either in the title or anywhere else in the document.
Note: There can be no space between the "intitle:" and the
following word.
Putting [intitle:] in front of every word in your query is equivalent
to putting [allintitle:] at the front of your query. For example,
[intitle:dnb intitle:search] is the same as [allintitle: dnb
search].
allinurl:
If you start a query with [allinurl:], the search is restricted
to results with all of the query words in the URL. For example, [allinurl:
dnb search] returns only documents that have both "dnb" and "search"
in the URL.
Note: [allinurl:] works on words, not URL components. In
particular, it ignores punctuation. Thus, [allinurl: foo/bar]
restricts the results to page with the words "foo" and "bar" in the URL, but
doesn't require that they be separated by a slash within that URL, that they
be adjacent, or that they be in that particular word order. There is
currently no way to enforce these constraints.
inurl:
If you include [inurl:] in your query, the results are restricted
to documents containing that word in the URL. For example, [inurl:dnb
search] returns documents that mention the word "dnb" in their URL
and mention the word "search" anywhere in the document either in the URL
or anywhere else in the document.
Note: There can be no space between the "inurl:" and the following
word.
Note: [inurl:] works on words, not URL components. In particular,
it ignores punctuation. Thus, in the query [dnb inurl:foo/bar],
the inurl: operator affects only the word "foo," which is the single
word following the inurl: operator, and does not affect the word
"bar." The query [dnb inurl:foo inurl:bar] can be used to require
both "foo" and "bar" to be in the URL.
Putting [inurl:] in front of every word in your query is equivalent
to putting [allinurl:] at the front of your query. For example,
[inurl:dnb inurl:search] is the same as [allinurl: dnb search].
