Description of Search operators

Some of the operators won't work if you leave any space between the operator and the colon(:).Google may change how undocumented operators work or may eliminate them completelyAlways the the query word exactly after the colon without leaving any space.Operetors can be placed anywhere in the query but placing the operators on the right is prefferable because it is how google advanced search works.


  • allinanchor:
    Using this operator, google refines your result to the pages containing the query words you specify in the operator on links to the page.For example, [allinanchor:New Delhi] will give the results in which the pages in which anchor text on links to the pages contain the words "New" and "Delhi".

  • allintext:
    If you use allintext, Gooogle restricts results to those containing all the query terms you specify in the text of the page.For example, [allintext:Best Hotels] will return pages which contain "Best" "Hotels" in their text.

  • allintitle:
    Using this operator will refine your your searches to the pages which contain your specified words in their title.

  • allinurl:
    By the use of this operator, Google reduces your search results to the pages which contain your specified words in their url

  • cache:
    The query cache:url will display Google's cached version of a web page.

  • filetype:
    This operator is very helpful to find the files of a specific format.Suppose you enter[intext:query filetype:pdf] , Google will return pdf files which contain your query words in their text.Its a very useful operator to find books, music files and much more.

  • intitle:
    It works same as the allintitle operator.What is novel here is that putting intitle in front of every query word is equivalent of putting allin title in front of whole search query.For example writing [intitle:Narender intitle:modi] is euivalent of writing [allintitle:Narender modi].

  • inurl:
    Its same as allintitle but has the same difference as intitle and allintitle has.

  • info:
    This tells google to return some information about the web page whose url you specify in the search query.

  • intext:
    Its same as allintitle but has the same difference as intitle and allintitle has.

  • link:
    This operator helps to find the pages that point to the url in your search query [link:url].

  • location:
    If you include location: in your query , Google will return the articles only from the specified location.

  • site:
    If you use this operator Google will restrict your result to the domain you specify and the webpages which are associated with that domain.
