At SES Chicago last week, one of the presenters told us to do the following to see all of my site pages listed in Google's index:

site: companyname.com companyname.com

I did this today with my company url and it showed my site pages, but along with a lot of other pages not from my site. These other pages had our url on them, but I don't want to see them, only the pages from my site that Google has indexed.

Did I get the wrong instructions here, or heard them wrong, etc.? I thought it used to be allinurl: www.companyname.com. Thanks.

Try the same search without the space after the colon.The blue status bar above the results define your search.

site:companyname.com companyname.com
Searched pages from companyname.com for companyname.com

site: companyname.com companyname.com
Searched the web for site: companyname.com companyname.com.

It does work your way, spinweb, if you close up the space:

site:ccompanyname.com companyname.com

I've not noticed differences with or without www but you might want to try it both ways.

Huh? It took me five minutes to write that? I swear coconutz wasn't there when I started.

Thanks, it worked fine.

Now I would like to be able to import the SERPs (there are many)into a searchable format like Excel or MS Access to find the page I'm looking for.

If you're just looking for one page why not use basically the same syntax:

site:companyname.com companyname.com/directory/page.htm

It's a great tool. You can drill down and immediately see if a page is indexed. Also useful:

site:companyname.com companyname.com/directory/
