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.google.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.google.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.google.com] shows information
about the Google 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.google.com]
finds pages about help within www.google.com.
[help site:com]
finds pages about help within .com URLs.
Note: There can be no space between the "site:" and the domain.
link:
The query [link:] enables you to restrict
your search to all pages that link to the query page.
To do this, use the [link:sampledomain.com]
syntax in the search box.
For example, to find all links to Stanford's main
page, enter:
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: google search] only
returns documents that have both "google" 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:google search] returns documents
that mention the word "google" 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:google intitle:search]
is the same as [allintitle: google 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:
google search] returns only documents that have
both "google" 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:google
search] returns documents that mention the word
"google" 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 [google 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 [google 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:google inurl:search] is the same as
[allinurl: google search].
