Google has made it possible to reach not just publicly available Internet resources, but also to some that should never have been revealed.
We are fortunate to be living in the era of Internet + Google where information has been commoditized to great extend, now what we really need to do is just type a query in Google and most of the time you would get what you are looking for.
Table below shows some queries which can be useful in your search:-
Operator | Description | Sample query |
site | only results to sites within the given domain | site:google.com International will find all sites/Pages containing the word International, located within the google.com domain |
intitle | only results to documents whose title contains the given keyword | intitle:Travel will find all sites with the word Travel in the title |
allintitle | only results to documents whose title contains all the given keyword | allintitle:International Travel will find all sites with the words International and Travel in the title, so it's equivalent to intitle:International intitle:Travel |
inurl | only results to sites whose URL contains the given keyword | inurl:International Travel will find all sites containing the word Travel in the text and International in the URL |
allinurl | only results to sites whose URL contains all the given keyword | allinurl:International Travel will find all sites with the words International and Travel in the URL, so it's equivalent to inurl:International inurl:Travel |

inanchor | only results to sites containing links with the given keyword in their descriptions | inanchor:Travel will return documents with links whose description contains the word Travel (that's the actual link text, not the URL indicated by the link) |
allintext | only results to documents containing the given keyword in the text, but not in the title, link descriptions or URLs | only results to documents containing the given keyword in the text, but not in the title, link descriptions or URLs |
