Title: find anything on Google cheatseat
Description: Google being a full-text search engine, it indexes entire web pages instead of just titles and descriptions. This allows comprehensive searches based upon key (query) words. Straight from the Google search page. Google's Boolean default is AND; that means if you enter query words without modifiers, Google will search for all of them.

Google Hacking 101
Google Search Basics
Google being a full-text search engine, it indexes entire web pages instead of just titles and
descriptions
...
Straight from the Google
search page
...
If you search for:
snowblower Honda "Green Bay"
Google will search for all the words
...
"
A stand-in for OR borrowed from the computer programming realm is the | (pipe)
character, as in:
snowblower (snowmobile | "Green Bay")
If you want to specify that a query item must not appear in your results, use a - (minus sign or
dash)
...
"
Google Syntax Words
Google also allows keyword searches in specific parts of web pages using special syntax words
...
Specifying that
your query words must appear only in the title or URL of a returned web page is a great way to have
your results get very specific without making your keywords themselves too specific
...
The variation,
allintitle: finds pages wherein all the words specified make up the title of the
web page
...
intitle:"george bush"
allintitle:"money supply" economics
inurl:
inurl: restricts your search to the URLs of web pages
...
An allinurl: variation finds all the words listed in a URL but doesn't mix well with
some other special syntaxes
...
e
...
There's an
allintext: variation, but again, this doesn't play well with others
...
intext:"yahoo
...
A link anchor is the descriptive
text of a link
...
oreilly
...
"
inanchor:"tom peters"
site:
site: allows you to narrow your search by either a site or a top-level domain
...
site:loc
...
loc
...
us
link:
link: returns a list of pages linking to the specified URL
...
...
You can includethe http:// bit; you don't need it, and, indeed, Google
appears to ignore it even if you do put it in
...
raelity
...
org
...
This is
particularly useful for pages that change often
...
cache:www
...
com
daterange:
daterange: limits your search to a particular date or range of dates that a page was
indexed
...
So a page created on February 2 and not indexed by
Google until April 11 could be found with daterange: search on April 11
...
Whether the date range changes depends on
whether the page content changed
...
Google reindexes the page on August 13, but the page content hasn't changed
...
Note that daterange: works with Julian, not Gregorian dates (the
calendar we use every day
...
faganfinder
...
shtml), offering daterange: searching
via a Gregorian date pull-down menu
...
"George Bush" daterange:2452389-2452389
neurosurgery daterange:2452389-2452389
filetype:
filetype: searches the suffixes or filename extensions
...
I like to make this distinction, because searching for
filetype:htm and filetype:html will give you different result counts, even
though they're the same file type
...
Google indexes several different Microsoft formats, including: PowerPoint
(PPT), Excel (XLS), and Word (DOC)
...
Not
all pages are related to other pages
...
com would return a variety of search engines,
including HotBot, Yahoo!, and Northern Light
...
yahoo
...
cnn
...
Information
includes a link to the URL's cache, a list of pages that link to that URL, pages that are
related to that URL, and pages that contain that URL
...
If Google hasn't indexed that
URL, information will obviously be more limited
