You may not have ever used it before, but Google’s Advanced Search is pretty useful. If you want to make your own Google Advanced Search you can build your own querystring utilizing these variables:
http://www.google.com/search?
| Variable | Description |
| as_q | Search all words |
| as_epq | Search exact phrase |
| as_oq | At least one of the words |
| as_eq | Without these words |
| num | Number of results |
| as_ft | Filetype (i = include, e=exclude) |
| as_filetype | pdf, ps, doc, xls, ppt, rtf |
| as_qdr | Last updated (m3 = 3 months, m6 = 6months, y = 1 year) |
| as_occt | Occurs (title, body, url, links, any) |
| as_dt | Domain (i = include, e=exclude) |
| as_sitesearch | sitename.com |
| as_rights | Copyrights (cc_publicdomain|cc_attribute|cc_sharealike|cc_noncommercial|cc_nonderived) |
| as_rq | similar to page |
| lr | Language (lang_en is English) |
| as_lq | find pages that link to this page |
| safe | =active for Safe Search |
A couple of examples:
Find sites that link to my site:
http://www.google.com/search?as_lq=http%3A%2F%2Fdouglaskarr.com
Find 10 Excel documents uploaded in the last 3 months about compounding interest:
http://www.google.com/search?as_q=compounding+interest&num=10&as_ft=i&as_filetype=xls&as_qdr=m3
You can use these to build your own custom form if you’d like.
All of these options also convert to a notation that you can simply write in a Google Search text box as well:
Find sites that link to my site:
link:https://martech.zone
Find Excel documents about compounding interest:
compounding interest filetype:xls
Then you can get really good and search for sites with MP3’s from Beck (from Lifehacker):
-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(mp3) “Beck”
