Another tool Google is missing

Besides allinurl

Unlike giving away the PR measurements on the toolbar, which was a big mistake, I think letting people know how many pages of a domain are indexed is both useful and would not give away any secret sauce. It used to be that allinurl:domain.com would work, but that is no longer accurate.

Now you are supposed to do something like "site:domain.com -qwertyqwerretreanysetofuniquecharacters"

which I'm still not convinced is accurate. But even if it is, I think they should make it a bit easier to get at the definitive answer.

I noticed that allinurl:domain.com/dynamic.pl?pagename=1 sometimes will show a url fitting into this description:

"domain.com/dynamic.pl?pagename=10"

and sometimes won't. So to me allinurl is totally broken.

But the topic of this post is about another tool that would be nice for Google to have. And that is a listing of urls that have actually been spidered. Right now some pages that have backlinks with anchor text are listed even if the spider never came. That is of limited use because it isn't likely to get far in the SERPS if the spider never saw the page.

I use "domain site:domain.com" for my site of around 1200 pages, and it works fine. The "domain" automatically matches the domain in the url.

I'm getting much worse results with the -111111111 before vs. after site:mydomain.com

I've noticed that I get a lot of redirection scripts on other peoples sites with my full domain in it when I use "domain site:domain.com"

currently I use -gsdgsdfsafsa site:domain.com but there are many different ways each give different results. I think we listed them a few months ago all in one thread.

omg I just tried the -111111111 site:domain.co.uk and the first page to come up was one that no longer exists! >:(

I removed the page with a purpose because I do not offer that particular service any more. Damn, I wondered why clients kept enquiring about that service.

Is there a error 'permenantly deleted' number type thing? I should really look that up.
