google search operators

whenever you want to find reference about something you just GOOGLE that thing, dont you? But like all too familiar things GOOGLE is also underutilized. Most of us only enter something like "writing viruses" and wait for results which always comes out to be relevant but most of times not exactly what we want.For getting exact results you must first understand that google is not only a search engine but is actually an extremely powerful tool when it comes to finding information online. Google provides few powerful operators that can be used in conjunction of one another to find anything from "TE PROJECT" to "LOG IN details"(crap like id and passwords)".Only limit is your imagination and webmaster's vigilance.

Lets begin:

• Enter just the word http for your search to find the top 1000 PageRanked sites.
  

• Enter only www in your search to see how Google ranks the top 1,000 sites.

Now serious stuff-->

• most important operators are "+" and "-" .With + you can make google search for both the terms together and by using - you can make google to filter out some phrase. e.g if you are searching for "wood prices" you will have use "-tiger" or you will get "Tiger Woods" biography.
  

• link:url Shows other pages with links to that url.

• related:url same as "what's related" on serps.

• site:domain restricts search results to the given domain.

• allinurl: shows only pages with all terms in the url.

• inurl: like allinurl, but only for the next query word.

• allintitle: shows only results with terms in title.

• intitle: similar to allintitle, but only for the next word. "intitle:third year project" finds only pages with "third year project" in the title.

• cache:url will show the Google version of the passed url.

• info:url will show a page containing links to related searches, backlinks, and pages containing the url. This is the same as typing the url into the search box.
