Advanced Operators - General

Wildcard . The period ( . ) is a wildcard in Google. It represents any single-


character or space. If you look at the examples below, I've replaced
the space with the period and that allowed me to eliminate the double-
quotes

intitle:index.of Returns pages that have the term "index of" in their title. This is a way
to search for directory listings. You can also try: intitle:"index.of "parent
directory"

intitle:index.of.admin Returns pages that have the term "index of" in their title and the word
admin anywhere on the page, in the URL, and in the text. (Also try:
intitle:"index of" admin)

intitle:index.of.private Returns pages that have the term "index of" in their title and the word
private anywhere on the page, in the URL, and in the text. (Also try:
intitle:"index of" private)

intitle:"index of" "backup files" Returns pages that have the term "index of" in their title and the phrase
backup files anywhere on the page, in the URL, and in the text.

allintext: Finds a string of text within a page. It does not look in the title, URL or
links.
