I saw a post in foo that had a link to a google search (below)
It includes allinurl:
What is that and what does it do?
Additionally I will list the ones I know of, If I miss any would you add them or give me a link to a page that does list them

allinurl: site:www.webmasterworld.com viewprofile webmasterworld

allinurl: = no idea what this does
site: = confines search to one site
link: = checks back links(kinda flaky, does not work 100% of the time)
filtype: = restricts search to specified filetype
+word = forces an excluded word
-word = does not show pages containing word
"some phrase" = finds an exact phrase(also flaky)

Thanks,

Todd

Google has a page on its Advanced Search Operators [google.com].

For some reason the page Andreas links to doesn't mention my favourite, "allinanchor:". It shows the pages that are linked with the words in the anchor text.

If you want SERPs with URLs from one specific country, use this:

keyword keyword site:.uk

Just change the "uk" to the country code you wish to use.

Thats a very cool one Calum. Of course you know my next question. What about "allinalt"? Nice ring too it, too. I guess I'll go try it.

p.s. I've been lookin' around. How do you put the quotes from previous posts in the cool boxy type things.

[ quote ]Copy and paste the quote here.[ /quote ] but without the added spaces around the word quote.

Hey, check out Andreas the artist! ;)

Just looking at those advanced search modifiers... I love the info: one, really neat.

What I'd really like though is a way of checking PR without having to boot into Windoze...

Would it be safe to say that most of these special searches functionality exist because Google already had these indexes, i.e. These indexes are the basis of how they calculate PR and relevance?

inurl
intitle
intext (would be just a default search)
link:

So...
Perhaps there might be some undocumented ones like...

inH1
inH2
inalt

Because it is said that type of info is used to calculate PR and relevance/validity.
So if you were to use that logic, what other searches (indexes) would you guess would exist?

Hope that made sense :)
