Google Hacking - list
inurl:
This operator allows looking for keywords in the uniform resource locator (URL) of the site. It is useful to find out pages which follow a usual keyword for specific pages, such as contact us. Generally, as the URL contains some keywords associated with the body contents, it will help us to find out the equivalent page for the keyword we are searching for.
Example: inurl:hack
allinurl:
Similar to “inurl” this operator allows looking for multiple keywords in the URL. So we can search for multiple keywords in the URL of a page. This also enhances the chances of getting quality content of what we are looking for.
Example: allinurl:hack security
intext:
This operator makes sure that the keyword specified is present in the text of the page. Sometimes just for the sake of SEO, we can find some pages only contain keywords to enhance the page rank but not the associated content. In that case we can use this query parameter to get the appropriate content from a page for the keyword we are looking for.
Example: intext:hack
allintext:
Similar to the “intext” this operator allows to lookup for multiple keywords in the text. As we discussed earlier the feature of searching for multiple keywords always enhances the content quality in the result page.
Example: allintext:data marketing
intitle:
It allows us to restrict the results by the keywords present in the title of the pages (title tag: XYZ ). It can be helpful to identify pages which follow a convention for the title of the pages such as directory listing by the keywords “index of” and most of the sites provide the keywords in the title for improving the page rank. So this query parameter always helps to search for a particular keyword.
Example: intitle:blueocean
allintitle:
This is the multiple keyword counterpart of “intitle” operator.
Example: allintitle:blueocean market
filetype:
This operator is used to find out files of a specific kind. It supports multiple file types such as pdf, swf, kml, doc, svg, txt, etc. This operator comes handy when we are only looking for specific type of files on a specific domain.
Example: filetype:pdf, site:xyz.com, filetype:doc
ext:
The operator ext simply stands for extension and it works similar to the filetype operator.
Example: ext:pdf
define:
This operator is used to find out the meaning of the keyword supplied. Google returns dictionary meaning and synonyms for the keyword.
Example: define:data
AROUND
This operator is helpful when we are looking for the results which contain two different keywords, but in close association. It allows us to restrict the number of words as the maximum distance between two different keywords in the search results.
Example: A AROUND(6) Z
AND
A simple Boolean operator which makes sure keywords on both the side are present in the search results.
Example: data AND market
OR
Another Boolean operator which provides search results that contain either of the keyword present on both the sides of the operator.
Example: data OR intelligence
NOT
Yet another Boolean operator which excludes the search results that contain the keyword followed by it.
Example: lotus NOT flower
“”
This operator is useful when we need to search for the results which contain the provided keyword in the exact sequence. For example we can search pages which contain quotes or some lyrics.
Example: “time is precious”
-
This operator excludes the search results which contain the keyword followed by it (no space).
Example: lotus -flower
∗
