Search operators explanation

inurl: and allinurl: are two of Google's advanced search operator that help power users filter their search results down. Let's see what these operators do.

inurl

If you start your search query with inurl: Google will restrict the results to only those that contain your keyword in their URL.

For example, if you search for inurl:example google will restrict the results to only those pages that contain the keyword example in the URL.

Let's see what happens when you add more than one keyword. If you search for inurl:example dictionary the first result is this url (www.wordwebonline.com/en/EXAMPLE). If you take a look at it you will notice that it doesn't include the word dictionary. That's because the inurl operator only works for the first keyword after it, the second keyword is used as if no search operator was used. In other words the second, third etc keywords can appear anywhere on the page.

allinurl

As we saw inurl doesn't search for multiple keywords. That's exactly what allinurl does, it returns pages that contain all of the keywords in the URL.

Here is the same example as above allinurl: example dictionary As you can see all results now contain both keywords in theURL
