Yahoo Search Commands

[Help Desk]

What are additional commands that Yahoo uses? Like their equivalent to Google's "site:", "allinanchor:" and the rest.

linkdomain: is useful.
I just noticed how much more backlinks yahoo shows... they're also updated so much faster than google's.

They report all links (not just high PR), and it also reports all links anywhere within the domain, rather than the specific URL.

something i see no-one has mentioned in either thread (maybe because it's obvious)
is that the link: command works in yahoo, it lists all other sites that link to you - and doesn't include internal links from your site (unlike linkdomain: ) - i guess thats partly what shawn said...

I tend to use Yahoo Link: to get a better idea of how many links I have. It seems a lot more accurate than the equivalent Google command.

Yes, the yahoo link: command does report better than google's. I like to use the command "site:yourdomain.com" to se what pages have been included in the index.

Yep, Yahoo does list all the links to your site. Or at least, many more than Google does.
