SEO Part 2: 7 Google Search Operators

Google Advanced Search: A Comprehensive List of Google Search Operator

All you wish to understand regarding advanced search question operators. While not knowing this, you cannot search something quicker. This operator searches for the precise phrase among speech marks solely. This can be ideal once the phrase you're victimization to go looking is ambiguous and will be simply confused with one thing else, or once you’re roughly obtaining relevant enough results back. For example: “Mehedi Hasan Tanvir”

This will search for only the information of Mehedi Hasan Tanvir, at the exclusion of all others.

For SEO work it's very important. Before searching with any keyword(s) in Google, type first the operator name than type your keyword(s). 

Common Google Search Operators

01. site:
This searches only within a given domain – delectable when you want to only search within the confines of a particular site. For instance, if I were looking for members of my close peer group that I regularly go drinking with, on Twitter, I would search for the following (in turn, not all at the same time):

site:twitter.com Mehedi Hasan Tanvir

02. link:
Use this operator to find links to a domain. Bonus note: Google only provides a sample of backlinks, meaning that this operator isn’t very useful for uncovering the complete selection of links to a site, but it is good for quickly identifying a sample of sites that link to a specific domain. For example:

link:mehedilive.blogspot.com

For a more complete selection of backlinks, use the Yahoo! operator –linkdomain: – which we will cover later.

03. OR

This self-explanatory operator searches for a given search term OR an equivalent term. For instance, if you have an unhealthy fascination with the famous ‘Sheens’ you could search for:

“mehedilive” OR “mehedi hasan tanvir”

Less Common Google Search Operators

04. allintitle: or intitle:
Searches only for sites with the given word(s) in the page title. Intitle: does the same thing but for single words and can be used with more flexibility. For instance, if I searched:

allintitle:mehedilive

intitle:mhtcml

05. allintext: or intext:
This operator searches only for sites where the given word(s) are in the text of the page.

06. allinanchor: or inanchor:

This shows sites which have the keyterms in links pointing to them, in order of the most links. For instance, if I searched for allinanchor:helicopters, Google would show me the top sites which are linked to, where the anchor text for the link is “mehedilive”.

allinanchor:mehedilive

07. allinurl or inurl:
Similar to the last few, but fetches results where the key words are in the URL. This is useful if you’ve forgotten the exact URL of a website, but can still remember bits of it.

allinurl:mehedilive

Note: in blog search this same function is blogurl:, making it handy for searching for topics on specific platforms. For example:

blogger blogurl:wordpress
