URL Search: does Google search by sub-string in URL?

Google search by sub-string in URL

[jordan123]

Hello everyone,

This is my first post on this forum.

So, a question:
Google API doc reads:
"Note: "inurl:" works only on words , not URL components. In particular, it ignores punctuation and uses only the first word following the "inurl:" operator. To find multiple words in a result URL, use the "inurl:" operator for each word."
For example, if I have an URL: [aaabbb.com...]
and I want to perform a search on "aaa" Google returns only
URL with delimiters "-" for example. So, should my URL contain delimiters? It looks like Google can not grab a sub-string from URL. Which is sad.
Any ideas.

Thank you in advance.

Google won't grab ANY substring from ANY word, that's why keyword1keyword2 doesn't work, either in a url OR in body text. It makes perfect sense, cos aaabbb can be split into a gadzillion bits...

aaa bbb
a aabbb
aa abbb
aaab bb
aaabb b

and that's just combos with one split. so it's clearly unfeasable to do so for google. That's what the spell checker is for to avoid accidental space omission.

Furthermore, url text does NOT count as keywords. What DOES count is anchor text, so make sure you links read:
(a href=www.aaabbb.com)aaa bbb(/a) which would count aaa and bbb as keywords for the domain.

PS plesae try to use widget speak in future, these As and Bs are making me dizzy...
