Supported search operators

  • A B C - Searches for pages containing all of the terms A, B, or C. The terms are allowed to appear in different fields (url, title, body, etc.).

  • "A B C" - Searches for pages containing the exact phrase "A B C" with the words in that specific order. The terms must appear in the same field.

  • site:example.com - Restricts search results to only pages from the specified site example.com. It can also match subdomains site:sub.example.com or page prefixes site:sub.example.com/page which will both match sub.example.com/page, sub.example.com/page/subpage, extra.sub.example.com/page etc.

  • linkto:example.com - Finds pages that contain links pointing to the specified domain example.com. Uses the same matching logic as site: queries.

  • intitle:A B - Searches for pages where term A must appear in the title, while B can appear anywhere on the page.

  • inbody:A B - Searches for pages where term A must appear in the main body text, while B can appear anywhere.

  • inurl:A B - Searches for pages where term A must appear in the URL, while B can appear anywhere on the page.

  • exacturl:https://example.com - Finds the page with exactly the specified URL. This is mostly used for debugging to see if a specific page is indexed.

  • A -B - Searches for pages containing term A but not term B.
