Thread: Searching for references to particular websites in the Internet

Google displays a long list of results after you enter a website as a search term. Unfortunately, it does not show which of the hits contains a link to that particular site. This would be useful to search for links of the particular homepage for instance.

By specifying certain keywords, you can also request for information in the Google Search, which goes beyond the normal hit list. This also includes links. The 'link:<website>' command can be found on all Internet sites, which contain a link to the typed address.

If you are only searching for a search term in the text of the websites and want to ignore Internet addresses, titles and links in the process, then use 'intext:<searchterm>'. 'inanchor:<searchterm>' results in the exact opposite of this.

Use 'cache:<website>', i.e. .cache:chip site. to view the version of a site stored in the cache of Google. At the upper border of the browser the search engine also informs you the date and exact time when the image was created in a grey area.

The 'related:<website>' command finds websites, which have a textual link to the specified site. If you enter .related:chip site.. a list of contents regarding different journals that deal with computer-related topics is created. This works well with your own home page as well. Use the 'related' command to find sites that are similar in content.
