Google Hidden Searches

Commands that will display you something else than websites

By Bogdan Popa, Security and Search Engines Editor

Adjust text size:


Most persons are using Google just to find information or websites that provide it, as well as images and other files. An important part of Google users don't know that the search engine contains some hidden commands to provide other results than
websites and links.

So, in the next lines, I'll present you some of them that I consider will be very useful for all users (you can test them by copying the text except the quotation marks):

-"intitle:software" will provide you all the websites that contain the word "software" in their name.
-"allintitle:software for Windows" will offer all websites that contain the entire expression in their name.
-"link:news.softpedia.com' will present you all the sites that contain a link to news.softpedia.com.
-"related:news.softpedia.com" shows you the sites that are similar with news.softpedia.com.
-"info:www.softpedia.com" displays some interesting information about www.softpedia.com.
-"location:romania" provides all the sites that corresponds with the text you typed located in Romania.
-"movie:softpedia" will present movie related information about softpedia.
-"weather:Bucharest, Romania" displays the current forecast for Bucharest, Romania.
-"phonebook: Softpedia Team" will offer Softpedia Team's telephone number, if it is included in US white page listings.

So, I hope these commands will help you find what you need and, if you have any questions, Google is the answer.
