URL – allinurl and inurl

Sometimes you need to find pages that contain a search query mentioned only in the page’s URL.

There are two ways to narrow your search and find very specific results.

1.allinurl

type allinurl:SEARCH QUERY

For example, you want to become a guest blogger and promote your site and/or build your writing portfolio. You want to find websites that look for guest bloggers.

You type guest bloggers wanted without quotation marks and Google gives you 394.000 search results.

Luckily, you know it’s better if you search under quotation marks so you type “Guest bloggers wanted”. Google gives back 41.000 results, nearly ten times less than you wanted.

But, this is still too broad. You want to narrow it down. So you type:
allinurl:“Guest bloggers wanted” or shorter: inurl:“Guest bloggers wanted”.
All of the sudden the magic happens. Now you have only 546 results.

Note that typing

  • allinurl:Guest bloggers wanted (without quotation marks) offers 1510 results, while
  • inurl:Guest bloggers wanted gives (without quotation marks) 33.200 results.

Is that all. Nope. There's more.
