Search condition combinations The “Search Comb” plugin is designed to search for combinations in circulation history that satisfy certain conditions. At the top, the range of circulations taken into account in the search is specified (all circulations, the latest, or selectively from.. to...). Buttons for saving settings and loading them. The first tab, “Search for combinations,” is designed to search in the history of draws for combinations that completely (i.e., matched all the numbers of the combination with a particular draw) coincided throughout the analyzed history of the lottery a specified number of times (or more). For example, the screenshot shows combinations of 10 numbers in length that matched all draws of the Keno 20 out of 80 lottery (Ukrainian UNL) more than three times. The lower table displays the found combinations; the upper table, when positioned on any lower row, shows the runs in which a complete match of this combination was found.

Slide description:

Combinations of search conditions It should be borne in mind that under some conditions the calculation, and especially the output to the table, can take a long time. For example, a million sixes, drawn more than 2 times in 3500 draws of the Keno 20 out of 80 lottery (Ukrainian National Lottery), are displayed on a dual-core Pentium 2.53 MHz in about three minutes (even though the calculation takes half a minute). But at the same time, the program begins to consume a lot of memory, and if there is not enough memory, the function (not the program, but only this calculation) may crash due to an OutOfMemoryException exception. In order to eliminate such a situation, the program has a parameter that limits the number of calculated combinations. By default it is set to 500,000 records (eventually there may be fewer after additional processing). If you have random access memory It is enough and it is necessary to obtain several million combinations (although the purpose of this is unclear), in the plugin configuration file (for example, SearchComb_20x80.pcfg) you can set the required value of the ResultLengthLimit parameter.

After working at the computer for some time, you will find that you cannot always remember the place where this or that document you need is located. In this case, you should use the information search tools included in the operating system. It should be remembered that in order to successfully search for a file, you must correctly specify the search criteria.

In general, it is convenient to search for information in Windows XP by selecting the main menu command Search. This will launch Windows Explorer in search mode for files and folders. If you are already working with Explorer, you can start searching for the file you are looking for without leaving this program. To use the information search tools, you need to click the button on the Explorer toolbar. In this case, the button will remain pressed, and a panel with a group of controls for configuring the search will appear on the left side of the program window. With their help, you can set search criteria and give a command to start the search procedure for the desired file.

Most often, files are searched by name and type, that is, by their extension. If the file name along with the extension is known, it is entered in the top input field. We remind you that the name is separated from the extension by a dot. In the Where to search (Folder) drop-down list, select the drive or folder in which you want to search. By default, you are offered the current folder, the contents of which are displayed on the right side of the program window. You can search all drives on your computer, but specifying the search location will significantly speed it up. You can complicate the search conditions by specifying in the Containing text input field a phrase that should be contained in the searched file. It should be remembered that searching the contents of files can take a very long time.

It often happens that the file name is not fully known. In this case, when searching, the missing part of the file name or extension is replaced with special wildcard characters? The * symbol replaces any number of any characters, for example, a search using the pattern *.* specifies a search for all files. Templates like *.htm or *.doc are often used, that is, templates for searching for all files of a given type. Symbol? in the pattern replaces only one, but any character, for example, according to the pattern D? The files House and Smoke will be found. If the file name has spaces inside, for example, consists of several words, then when searching this name must be enclosed in quotation marks, for example “Favorite song.wav”.

Once you have entered your search criteria, you can begin searching for files. The search begins after clicking the Search Now button. As you find the files and folders you need, their icons will appear on the right side of the Explorer window. The search may take quite a long time. You can interrupt the search procedure at any time by clicking the Stop Search button. Based on the search results, a list of files that meet the specified search conditions is displayed. You can work with files from the list, but sometimes it is useful to navigate to the folder where the required file. To do this, select one of the found files and click the button located on the toolbar. Desired folder will become current and you can continue working with it in the usual way. At the same time, the panel with search settings fields will be removed from the Explorer window. You can also stay working in the system folder with search results. If the search settings panel bothers you, click the button on the toolbar and this panel will be removed.

At the bottom of the search settings panel there are several links for searching for computers on the network, people, or information on the Internet. We will not dwell on the features of such a search, but note that the principles of the search always remain the same. You set the search area and criteria, and then launch the search procedure. But let's get back to searching for files and folders on your computer.

It often happens that you do not know the name of the file you are looking for, but you know the date it was created or its size. In this case, you can search using these file parameters. This search is needed if you need a list of files created, for example, in the last two days. These search capabilities are set using additional settings fields that appear in the search panel when you click on the Search Options link (Fig. 2.13). The search type is specified by checking the appropriate boxes. When you select specific checkboxes, additional fields appear below them to refine your search criteria. Select the Date checkbox and fields will appear below for setting up a search by file date

If you select the Type and Size checkboxes and clear the Date checkbox, other fields will appear in the panel. As with searching by date, you can select the type and size of the file you are looking for. Moreover, you can specify the minimum or maximum file size. The last checkbox, Advanced Options, allows you to select or clear several checkboxes that specify how the search will be performed. You can specify viewing when searching system folders And hidden files, or you don’t have to look among them. You can also search subfolders. If you remove this icon, the search will only be performed among files in one folder. When searching, you can take into account the differences between lowercase and uppercase letters, or you can ignore such differences. By adjusting various search parameters, you can significantly improve its effectiveness. Clicking on the title of the Search Options frame will remove additional fields from the search settings panel.

Keywords (they are also called search queries, or keys) are needed in order to optimize existing site pages for them, use queries when creating new materials on your site, and also in order to compose the texts of external links and articles when posting them on others resources.

There are paid and free methods for selecting words. Today I will talk about paid solutions, which include online services, browser extensions, as well as desktop programs (free and paid with a free trial period).

Free online services for collecting search queries

Perhaps this is the best service for selecting keywords for promotion on Google, because it is a “native” Google service. It is suitable for both Runet and the English-language Internet, you just need to select the desired country and language:

Many services and programs for selecting words use data from this particular service.

This service has options that allow you to select queries for both desktop computers both laptops and mobile devices:

I recommend activating all columns to get information on keywords. To do this, on the right side of the page, click on the “Columns” button and check all the boxes: Level of competition (Competition), number of requests per month for the whole world (Global Monthly Searches) and target regions (Global Local Searches), Share of ad impressions (Ad Share) Search network Google (Google Search Network), Share of impressions on the first page (Search Share), Approximate CPC (cost-per-click bid), Dynamics of queries in target regions (Local Search Trends graph), Web page content (Extracted From Webpage).

Here is a screenshot in the English interface in which I prefer to work:

The columns in the shown menu can be dragged with the mouse and swapped, which is very convenient.

I also recommend playing with the match type in the left column to get the desired results and additional ideas for search queries (try collecting keywords by alternately checking the “Exact”, “Broad” and “Phrase” checkboxes).

The received data can be saved in CSV format (as well as in several other formats), to do this, click on the “Save to file” button. I sincerely recommend using this service as it has all the necessary features for collecting keywords.

Useful and free service to collect keywords that Google Suggest and other resources use. You can select the country and source (Web, News, Shopping, Videos or Recipes). Ubersuggest allows you to receive search queries from both organic search and vertical search. This resource works according to the following scheme: it takes the query you entered, adds a letter or number to it, and collects all possible queries. This way you get the opportunity to find more ideas by keywords, especially for low-frequency queries.

For example, I collected 344 search queries for the phrase “search engine optimization” and 377 for “photoshop tutorials”.

Saving the received data was done in an original way. Click on the “Select all keywords” button. By the way, how do you like my new watermark? As they say in Florida - Style! :

Then click on the “Get” button on the right side:

And a window will appear with all the collected keywords.

There are two options for using the Youtube keyword selection service: enter the desired query or insert a link to the video for which you want to select words and phrases.

I discovered that the Youtube Keyword Tool service does not work correctly and for many queries it shows a message stating that there is not enough data. I came up with this solution - register or log in to your Google AdWords account and insert a link to a video that is relevant to your keywords. Then set the price to $0.01 per view and you will get all possible search phrases. I also recommend playing with the Broad, Phrase and Exact match type to get maximum results.

Another useful tool for collecting keywords from Google. It allows you to compare data across categories, countries and time periods. You can apply Web Search, Image Search, News and Product Search filters.

Google Insights has another interesting feature - you can watch the dynamics of queries over time and on a world map (click on the “View changes over time” item, you can even turn on animation there):

For example, I found out that the query “search engine optimization” was most popular in the United States in 2004, and now the country where this phrase is most searched for is India.

A cool service for collecting search phrases, which is also free. It shows data from the world's popular Internet resources (Google, Amazon, Wikipedia, Answers.com, Yahoo, Bing, Youtube, Netflix, Ebay, Buy.com, Weather.com) and displays phrases in an original manner as you type your request there. Try it, you will like it!

I found a tiny button to save the results, it's located in the upper left part.

The well-known analytical resource Alexa.com, with which you can find search queries for a particular site for free. We go to Alexa.com, select the Site Info tab and enter the address of the site we are interested in. Then click on the Get Details button:

On the next page, select the Search Analytics tab:

At the bottom of the page there will be a list of the most popular search queries for which this site receives visitors from search engines.

The search query selection service of the Bing search engine allows you to collect data from organic searches for free and study statistics for the last 6 months. You can filter received requests by language and country. In order to use this service, you need to register with it.

Another free service for collecting keywords from Google. You can compare several queries; to do this, write them separated by a comma. You can compare up to 5 queries.

An excellent search query generator that takes data from Google, Yahoo and Wordtracker. For example, I got 46 keywords for “photoshop tutorials”.

The name of this service can be translated as “Yahoo Guess”. All keyword data is obtained from the Yahoo search engine. You can find specific search queries related to sports leagues, sports teams, and athletes. There is a function to compare queries that men and women type. You can also filter keys by country.

And another free tool from Google. Google Corellate allows you to find keywords based on popular global trends, which can be very useful for many webmasters and SEOs. This free online tool finds search patterns which correspond with real-world trends, which is very useful for SEO specialists and website owners.

Google Correlate also shows search activity maps. For example, I use it to find out the popularity of a particular query in various states USA. Just hover over the desired state and you will see information about it. I pointed to my beloved Florida, where I lived for 4 years:

A popular free tool among foreign optimizers. The data is taken from the Wordtracker service. In order to start using it, you need to create an account. You can save received requests in CSV format.

I’ve seen a couple of times that in RuNet the name of this tool is translated as “Stupid generator”. It's actually a typo generator. Users have always entered, are entering, and will continue to enter some queries with typos. Therefore, typos can be used to get additional targeted visitors. This tool allows you to receive key queries with typos.

Browser extensions for searching keywords

Search queries can be obtained not only from various online services. You can also study those pages of competitors’ websites that already rank first on topics that interest you and get keys from them based on the density of requests. This method allows you to get additional ideas about what words and phrases you can use in the text of the pages you promote. There are browser extensions for this, which I will discuss next.

I have been actively using SeoQuake since 2007. This extension is available for Google browsers Chrome Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Safari.

With the SeoQuake extension it is very easy to analyze the keyword density on any page of the site. To do this, go to the page you are interested in, click on the SeoQuake icon and select Keyword Density:

On the next page you will see detailed information about which keywords are used to optimize this page:

You can analyze one-word, two-word, three-word and four-word queries (which is very useful for selecting low-frequency keywords), as well as a keyword cloud:

I found a video that shows this process in detail in SeoQuake:

KGen (short for Keyword Generator) is an SEO addon for Mozilla browser Firefox, which allows you to find out which search queries are used on a particular page to optimize it. The essence is the same as the previous extension.

KGen scans the page and displays information about how many times a particular query appears, as well as its weight and the average position of the query on the page.

To select keywords, simply go to the desired page, click on the KGen icon (I have it in the lower right part of the Firefox browser) and in the window that appears, click the “Scan” button.

Free versions of paid online services for collecting search queries

This is one of my favorite tools for studying sites and selecting keywords for promotion on Google (I use the Professional tariff). It has a fairly functional free version, with which you can get very valuable information about competitors' requests and links.

For example, you can find out for what queries a competitor you are interested in promotes this or that internal page of their website. To do this, go to the SERP’s Analysis tab, select Organic Keywords and enter the address of the desired page. You will receive 10 search queries for free, for which this page is in Google results. Data is available not only for Google, but also for Bing and Yahoo.

I did a detailed video review of the capabilities of the Ahrefs.com service for more than 40 minutes in this post: How to study competitors' sites using the Ahrefs.com service - video tutorial.

In the free version, Wordtracker provides up to 100 search queries. Please note that it shows the frequency of impressions per day. If you need monthly data (like me), then simply multiply the results by 30.

Another useful tool from the Wordtracker service. Enter a query and get 100 questions that match it. This is a good help when searching for new ideas for keywords and writing articles. Questions can be used when writing assignments for copywriters.

Service from the well-known blogger Dimka in RuNet. Actual Keywords allows you to get 100 keywords for any query for free. More for free download selections of keywords are available on several topics (Auto Loan, Digital Camera, What Is and How To).

The popular Semrush service allows you to enter 10 queries per day for free and get 10 results for each query. This service has its own database, which consists of 95 million keywords and 45 million sites.

Like other free versions of paid services, Keyword Discovery returns 100 search queries. Data is collected from more than 200 resources around the world.

Another way to get 100 requests for free. Data from Google is available for several countries: AU, BR, CA, DE, ES, FR, IT, RU, UK and US.

I found an interesting feature in Keyword Eye - a cloud of search queries. Here's what it looks like:

Wordpot shows data from various search engines by frequency of impressions per day.

This service allows you to create 1 project and make 25 requests per day for free. Synonyms, related queries and associated words are also limited - up to 5 per day.

If you participate in the Amazon.com affiliate program, then this service will allow you to find search queries specifically from Amazon, which is especially valuable for searching for specific low-frequency queries. Please note that in the free version you can only enter 3 queries per day.

Like the other services listed above, WordStream gives us 100 queries for free. It's disappointing that the received data cannot be downloaded. But you can send them to your e-mail. Although I personally don’t like this moment - what if I receive a newsletter that I don’t need?

This service collects data from eBay.com. Enter the required query and get the following table (there is also information there, I did not capture it in the screenshot in order to show this particular table in detail):

This service reminds me of a closed project from Google - Wonder Wheel. Similar, isn't it?

Terapeak allows you to find search terms for specific countries. There is a free trial period of 7 days.

And another way to get 100 keywords for free. I haven’t found a way to save the received data, so this service is inferior to the ones I described above.

Niche Bot produces 20 search queries per day.

And this one is only 10. The fewer requests the service issues for free, the less I write about it. It will issue 1 request - I’ll just put a dot instead of the description.

And this tool issues 100 queries. For example, I entered “Photoshop tutorials” and got 110 phrases. But after entering the second request, I received a message about reaching the daily limit “You have reached your daily limit”. In the free version, you cannot download a report on the collected keywords, but you can select it with the mouse and copy it, although this is not so convenient.

This service allows you to find out the Keyword Effectiveness Index (KEI), that is, the effectiveness index of a keyword, and also collect queries from sites you are interested in. It also has a module for collecting keywords for which a particular site is found in search results. Wordze has a free trial of 30 days.

SpyFu allows you to collect queries that promote any site you are interested in. This is a popular tool for studying competitors on the English-speaking Internet, but the free version provides very little information.

Free programs for searching keywords

Useful free program for Windows. Data is collected from Google's word search service.

This program allows you to select search queries directly in the Microsoft Excel interface, which is very convenient for many users. The data is collected from Bing and Yahoo search engines and includes relevance, price history, impression frequency, and country data.

Honestly, when I installed Microsoft program Advertising Intelligence, I didn’t immediately understand how to launch it. There is no shortcut on the desktop, and I didn’t find it in the list of programs either. And only after I launched Excel did I see new tab. I took a screenshot above where you can see it.

Paid word search programs with free trial

The Good Keywords project has created another solution for searching keywords - the Keyword Strategy Studio program. It allows you to find new ideas for search queries that are based on search data, trends and popularity. Keyword Strategy Studio has a fully functional trial version, which can be used for 30 days.

Market Samurai is a very popular program among foreign optimizers. It is paid, but there is a free trial period. The great thing is that the keyword selection module in Market Samurai continues to work normally even after finishing trial period, that is, over the network, you can use this function in the program for free for an unlimited amount of time.

Keyword Researcher is literally “Keyword Researcher”. This program is well suited for finding low-frequency search queries with low competition and works on Windows and Apple OS X. As you can see in the screenshot, you can set a search query template by replacing one word or phrase with an asterisk, and the program will match everything possible options keywords. For example, let's make the following request:

How to * a camera

And the program selects 119 phrases based on this template. There is a free period. I suggest watching a video about its capabilities:

This program has a free version that has many interesting features. For example, I liked the Amazon keyword scraper module (for collecting keywords from Amazon.com). Let's look at the screenshot:

You can set various filters when searching for keywords and phrases, you can remove brand names with one click, set the range of local query impressions and global impressions, and set average cost per click (CPC) parameters. Just like in Google Adwords, you can specify the match type (exact, broad and phrase).

The Advanced Web Ranking program provides all its functionality during the entire free trial period of 30 days and works on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux operating systems.

The keyword selection module in Rank Tracker allows you to determine the level of competition, find misspelled words, etc. Data is collected from Google AdWords, Yandex Wordstat, Keyword Discovery, Wordtracker, Bing and Semrush. You can use Rank tracker for free, but you will not be able to save projects and reports. The program runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

I also want to mention two popular tools for selecting search queries - Micro Niche Finder (program) and Keyword Ninja ( PHP script), but they do not have a free trial period, so I did not include them in the list, I provide them for information. Micro Niche Finder has a 30-day period, but you have to pay for it, so it's not free.

Brief information

Searching for information is a problem that humanity has been solving for many centuries. As the volume of information resources potentially available to one person grew, more and more sophisticated and advanced search tools and techniques were developed to find the necessary document. Interner search services provide extensive opportunities for working with large amounts of information.

If there is primary information on the search topic, documents can be searched in search engines. In this case, one should distinguish between the methods of simple, advanced, contextual and special search.

A simple search is a search for Web resources using one or more keywords. The disadvantage of a simple search is that it usually returns too many documents, from which it is difficult to select the most relevant ones.

When using advanced search, keywords are linked together by operators logical relations. Advanced search is used in cases where simple search techniques produce too many results. Using logical relationships, the search task is formed in such a way as to more accurately detail the task and limit the selection area, for example, by publication date or data type.


Contextual search is a search using an exact phrase. It is convenient for abstract information search, but is not available in all search engines. First of all, to provide this capability, the system must work not only with indexed files, but also with full images of Web pages. This operation is quite slow, and not all search engines perform it.

Special search is used when searching for Web pages that contain links to specified URLs, containing specified data in service fields, for example, in the title field, etc.

Advanced Search. In addition to a simple search tool, usually search services provide advanced search facilities. These tools allow you to more accurately formulate a search task, but require some experience and work noticeably slower. In most search engines, advanced search commands are formed using Boolean commands. The convenience of using logical commands is in particular due to the fact that many search engines implement simple search commands differently. Each system strives to make simple search tools the most convenient, and advanced search tools the most standard. However, different search engines use different notations to denote Boolean operators. Therefore, it is advisable to study the syntax of search queries of the selected search engine before performing an advanced search.

Let's take a closer look at logical relation operators (logical commands).

The logical operator OR (OR) is used to form a search query if the searched text must contain at least one of the terms connected by this operator. This operator can be indicated in various search engines in one of the following ways: | ; OR; OR.

For example, the result of the query “Black OR Sea” will be represented by a list of links to documents that contain the word “Black”, or the word “sea”, or both of these words together.

In some search engines, as noted above, by default, keywords in a query are connected by this logical relationship.

The logical AND operator is used to search for documents containing all terms connected by this operator. This operator can be designated in one of the following ways: +; AND; &; AND.

For example, the query “Black AND sea” will find documents containing the words “black” and “sea”.

The logical operator NOT (HE) allows you to search for documents whose text does not contain terms following this operator. This operator can be denoted in one of the following ways: not; !; ~; NOT.

For example, for the query “Black NOT sea”, the result is documents that contain the word “Black” and do not contain the word “sea”.

By using logical operations You can create quite complex queries. A query of several words interspersed with operators will be interpreted according to their priority. The AND and NOT operators traditionally have higher priority, so when processing a multi-word query, it is first grouped by the AND and NOT operators, and only then by the OR operators. For example, the query “Black AND sea OR Crimea” will find documents that either necessarily contain the words “Black” and “sea”, or the word “Crimea”, or all three words.


You can change the grouping order by using parentheses. The operator in parentheses will be executed first. Using parentheses allows you to build nested queries and pass them to operators as arguments. Thus, the query “Black AND (sea OR Crimea)” will find documents that necessarily contain the word “Black” and one of two words “sea” or “Crimea”.

Using nested queries, you can significantly limit the selection area, freeing the resulting list from unnecessary links. So, for example, if we are interested in information about vacations in the south by the sea, but exclusively on the Russian coast, then we can try using something like this: “vacation AND ((Azov OR Black) AND sea) NOT (Crimea OR Turkey OR Bulgaria)” .

The use of parentheses to control the order in which a search job is executed is allowed by most major search engines.

Operator

Description

Detects exact words within quotation marks or phrases

Find any of the words. Just put the | symbol between the words, and you will get pages that contain at least one of the query words.

Excludes pages that contain a word or phrase.

You can build as complex constructions as you like by substituting entire expressions in each of the operators instead of a single word. To ensure that Yandex understands you correctly, enclose expressions in parentheses.

Limit search to pages where the query words are within a sentence

If you need documents where specified words are present - no matter at what distance and in what order - connect them with the operator

Words with capital and small letters count in different forms one word, so it doesn't matter which case you use in the query. The exception is the exact form operator. This is useful if the proper name you are looking for matches a common phrase, such as group! Black coffee.
All words you provide in a query are searched based on morphology by default. To disable it, use the operator! before the word (no space).

You can specify the maximum allowed distance between any two words in a query by placing a / after the first word, immediately followed by a number indicating the distance.

Operator

Description

Used to include common words

Query words enclosed in double quotes, are searched in documents exactly in the order and in the forms in which they were found in the request. Thus, double quotes can also be used to simply search for a word in a given form (words are found in all forms by default).

The NOT operator allows you to generate a query that is answered by documents that satisfy the left side of the query and do not satisfy the right. So, the result of a search for the query dog ​​NOT cat will be all documents that contain the word “dog” and do not contain the word “cat”.
This is especially useful in cases where the desired word form is also a form of another word: Zhenya is a proper name, as well as a gerund. If we are looking for a person named Zhenya, in the query we can write Zhenya NOT marry.

Two queries joined by the && operator form a complex query that is satisfied only by documents that simultaneously satisfy both of these queries. In other words, the query dog ​​&& cat will only find documents that contain both the word “dog” and the word “cat”.

A complex query, consisting of two queries joined by the || operator, is satisfied by all documents that satisfy at least one of the two queries. On request dog || cat there are documents that contain at least one of two words - the word “dog” or the word “cat” (or both of these words together).

Using parentheses allows you to build nested queries and pass them as arguments to operators, and also override the default operator precedence.

Organization of a special search. Using special search tools, you can search for documents: containing the required data in various fields (title, keywords, description); located on any website; containing certain links, etc. Let's take a closer look at some of the special search capabilities.

Many search engines allow you to search Web documents based on the text contained in their titles. Searching by headings significantly reduces the number of links found, but very accurately leads to the necessary materials. After all, every Web page can have a title if its author is not too lazy to create it. And the title of a Web page usually accurately characterizes the topic of the material it contains.

For example, if you need information about distance learning, then it is advisable to look for pages that have this combination in the title. Thus, unlike a simple query, we cut off those documents where these words are not significant, that is, they do not define the topic of the article.

The operator or command of such a search is title. This operator can be designated in one of the following ways: title:, t:, title =, $title, etc. The operator is followed by keywords. In some search engines, keywords must be enclosed in parentheses; in others, they are written without parentheses. For example, in Yandex the search command in the title is written like this: $title (full-time training).

Site search. With the help of search engines, you can search for information not in the entire Web space, but on a specific site (if, of course, the latter is indexed by the search engine). The corresponding operator can be indicated in one of the following ways: url=, url:, u:, #url=". This is followed by the address of the Web site; some systems require enclosing the address in quotation marks.

If in a request you simply write down this statement with the address of a Web site, you will receive a list of documents indexed by the search engine on this site. But this operator can be combined with others, thereby searching for information according to all the rules for constructing queries on a given site. For example, if we want to find information about full-time training on the BelSU website, then the query in the Aport search engine will look like this: URL=http://www. bsu. edu. ru + “face-to-face training”.

In addition, search engines may offer other special search options: search in the text of links, search in the document description, search in the list of keywords of Web pages, search in figure captions, etc. You should be aware that the syntax of search queries, yes and the composition of available operators differs in different search indexes. Therefore, before searching in a particular search engine, you should study the help page for searching in this system.

Special search aport. ru

Operator

Description

The word or construction in parentheses specified after the equality must be searched in the headings of the documents (the equal sign before the parentheses can be omitted). The query title=(dad or mom) will find documents containing the word dad or the word mom, or both words in the title.

The word or construction in parentheses specified after the equality must be searched in the reference text. The query anchor=(I hate the Internet) will find documents in the text of the links to which both words appear: hate and Internet.

The word or construction in parentheses specified after the equality should be searched only in plain text. By default, query words are searched both in the text and in all of the above fields. To search only the text displayed in the main browser window, you should use this operator.
