Syntax example: intitle:rodent intitle:racing cobham searches
for the words rodent and racing between the page’s TITLE tags and searches
for the word cobham in the rest of the page.
Search the URL
You can search URLs — domain names, directory names, and filenames.
However, Google won’t find the search words unless they’re separated by
dashes or dots. For instance, a search on rodent racing finds www.rodent-
racing.com, www.rodentracing.com/rodent-racing-scores.html, or
rodent.racing.com, but not www.rodentracing.com.
Advanced Search page: Type your search word or phrase into the top Find
Results box and then select In the URL of the Page in the Occurrences drop-
down list box.
Toolbar/home page: Precede the words with allinurl:.
Syntax example: allinurl: rodent revenge returns all pages with the
words rodent and revenge in the URL.
Search the URL and elsewhere
You can combine a URL search with a body search, telling Google to search
for certain words in the URL and for other words in the rest of the page.
Advanced Search page: The Advanced Search page has no tool for this kind
of search.
Toolbar/home page: Add inurl: before the words for which you want to
search the URL. The other words stand alone. Unlike the allinurl: com-
mand, don’t add a space between inurl: and the search word.
Syntax example: inurl:rodent inurl:racing cheats searches for the
words rodent and racing in the URL and searches for the word cheats in the
rest of the page.
Search within a Web site
You can tell Google to search only within a particular Web site. This type of
search is handy if you’re pretty certain that the information you want is in
that site. It’s also a great tool for finding out how many pages on your site, or
on a competitor’s site, are indexed by Google. And it allows you to search
within particular top-level domains.
