We all know of Google and more than likely we all understand that currently they are the leaders within the search engines community. Google understands that to stay top of their market they need to be continually developing and offering new facilities, tools and technologies.
One of the oldest tools that Google presents is the ability to do more advanced searches from their website. They allow you to search for something within a specific website, see how many websites link to another and so on.
All of these advanced searches can be found on the Google website, but here is a brief snapshot of some of the most useful:
site:
If you include [site:] in your query, Google will restrict the results
to those websites in the given domain. For instance, [help
site:www.google.com] will find pages about help within www.google.com.
[help site:com] will find pages about help within .com urls. Note there
can be no space between the "site:" and the domain.
link:
The query [link:] will list webpages that have links to the specified
webpage. For instance, [link:www.google.com] will list webpages that
have links pointing to the Google homepage. Note there can be no space
between the "link:" and the web page url.
related:
The query [related:] will list web pages that are "similar" to a
specified web page. For instance, [related:www.google.com] will list
web pages that are similar to the Google homepage. Note there can be no
space between the "related:" and the web page url.
define:
The query [define:] will provide a definition of the words you enter
after it, gathered from various online sources. The definition will be
for the entire phrase entered (i.e., it will include all the words in
the exact order you typed them).
More can be found at: Google Help Advanced Search
Tools which have been released to the public, including photo organisers, blogging tools and much more can be found at: Google Services
They even demonstrate some of their new ideas, and future products that are under test at: Google Labs
Hopefully this has given you a little in site to how Google is trying to help you and further its business
