Google Search Directive - sites and links

Google searches are case insenstive.

 

site:

search only within the given domain. If you include site: in your query, Google will restrict your search results to the site or domain you specify. For example, [ admissions site:www.lse.ac.uk ] will show admissions information from London School of Economics’ site and [ peace site:gov ] will find pages about peace within the .gov domain. You can specify a domain with or without a period, e.g., either as .gov or gov. OR[ site:www.lse.ac.uk admissions] OR [ site:www.lse.ac.uk filetype:ppt] will look for all ppt files in that particular site OR [site:abcd.net ppt] will not only get ppt but also web pages that include the text ppt.

 

link:

Shows all sites linked to a fiven site. The query link:URL shows pages that point to that URL. For example, to find pages that point to Google Guide’s home page, enter:
[ link:www.googleguide.com ]

related:

Shows similar pages. The query related:URL will list web pages that are similar to the web page you specify. For instance, [related:www.consumerreports.org] will list web pages that are similar to the Consumer Reports home page.

 

intitle:

Shows pages whose title matches the search. The query intitle:term restricts results to documents containing term in the title. For instance, [ flu shot intitle:help ] will return documents that mention the word “help” in their titles, and mention the words “flu” and “shot” anywhere in the document (title or not) OR

 [intitle:index. of passwd] finds indexed web directories with the workd "passwd" in the dirrectory lisiting, possibly /etc/passwd file OR. [intitle:"Nessus Scan Report" "This file was generated by Nessus" to find sites that have output from the nessus vulnerability scanner. somehow this file was put on the root of the webserver & now google could search it. OR [intitle: index.of intext: "secring.skr" | "secring.pgp" | "secring.bak"] will look for sites with directory idnexing in which we have files named liseted above. An attacker could grab these files and lunch a passwd guessing against them.

inurl:

shows pages whose URL matches the search criteria. If you include inurl: in your query, Google will restrict the results to documents containing that word in the URL. For instance, [inurl:print site:www.googleguide.com] searches for pages on Google Guide in which the URL contains the word “print.” It finds pdf files that are in the directory or folder named “print” on the Google Guide website. The query [inurl:healthy eating] will return documents that mention the words “healthy” in their URL, and mention the word “eating” anywhere in the document. OR [ inurl: viewtopic.php] finds a script included in the phpBB, a set of scripts for running a web-based forum, with a history of significant flaws

  

phonebook:

If you start your query with phonebook:, Google shows all public U.S. resudence telephone listings (name, address, phone number) for the person you specify. For example, [ phonebook: John Doe New York NY ] will show phonebook listings of everyone named John Doe in New York, NY.
