allinurl: xxxxxx

The allinurl operator does the same as the inurl operator, but then for multiple search terms.

filetype: xxxx

By using the filetype operator you can limit the search to certain document types, such as pdf, doc, ppt etc.

Your search can then look like this: company name filetype: pdf

I've been using 'define' without the ':' for a long time. It's particularly useful when I don't know what letters stand for e.g. WTF, OMG, BBQ etc.

OK I know those ones but for the ones I don't know I use 'define'.

Lots of search terms here I'm not familiar with Loes :)
