Advanced Search page: Enter the URL into the Links — Find Pages That Link
to the Page text box and click Search. (You have to scroll down the page a bit
to find the Links text box. It’s in the Page Specific section.)
Toolbar/home page: Type link: and then the URL, with no space in between.
You can also open a page in your browser, and then click the i button on the
Google toolbar and select Backward Links.
Syntax example: link:http://cnn.com or link:cnn.com or link:
www.cnn.com
This command is a little flaky. I recommend that you try using the domain
name with and without the www. piece because sometimes they return differ-
ent results.
Search Froogle for products for sale
You can search Froogle, Google’s price-comparison and shopping service.
Either go directly to Froogle (froogle.com) and search there, or, in the
Google Advanced Search page, type a search term into the Products text
box. You find out about Froogle in Chapter 16.
Topic- and domain-specific searches
Google provides several topic- and domain-specific searches, available from
the Advanced Search page or directly through a particular URL (which you
can bookmark, of course).
You can search sites related to the following topics and domains:
Apple Macintosh: google.com/mac
BSD Unix: google.com/bsd
Linux: google.com/linux
Microsoft: google.com/microsoft.html
Universities: www.google.com/options/universities.html
