Is there any way to just search supplemental results on Google? It there a way to exclude supplemental results from a search?

I put a unique string in all my titles, an example UNIQSTRNG. (This doesn't seem to prevent number 1 rankings by the way!) And I also put a unique string at the end of all my pages content like, UNIQSTRNGPG.

I've stumbled upon a page of one of my sites that is both supplemental and not supplemental depending upon the search strings. The cached version of both searches appears the same. Also a certain string like UNIQSTRNGPG when used in a "-string" or not string search is actually present in the cache even though the search should have excluded the page because of the "not string".

Seeing this page in the normal results and supplimental results makes me wonder?

[b]If I could search supplemental results only maybe I could find more of these anomalies.[b]

This is not a www.widget.com versus widget.com problem, both results are for the same domain, and the cache looks identical for both results.

I've been playing with all this mainly to find sites that have duplicated my content or scraped my content to make their own little snippets, unlike Google, Google does not make static content that can be crawled later! (There is a DIFFERENCE)

By searching for UNIQSTRNGPG I have found some clowns that have copied my pages in there entirety. This unique string in my all my pages makes this very easy. Some may search for their "Copyright 1998" string but this is easy for a copyright infringer to remove or change, the unique string is somewhat less obvious.

By searching for UNIQSTRNG I can find all my scraped Titles, and I can assure you I am barnicle free, 100's ,no 1000's, of times over.

I have been very impressed lately with Google's serps when I search for UNIQSTRNG most of the 1000's of results are "supplimental", but a few are not. If I could exclude supplimental results from this search I might find the few pages Google thinks aren't scrapers, perhaps legitimate directories!

A supplimental result filter would be really useful in all these investigations, therefore the question?

I guess I should ask Google! ASA?
