Advanced search google options

Anyone know how I can search via google content of a text file.

For instance I need to search 2 words in a .txt file:

Url of text file: example.com/filetosearch.txt (pretending file is indexed anyway)
phrase to search: "my search term"

how should google search sintax need to look like? can I just use "intext:xxxxxx" to filter results ? Also someone knows if this is capable to search in .pdf files ?

Try to use this command site *.txt + keyword or site:*.txt + keywords

 

not sure... but you can try some of this google search feature: http://www.google.com/help/features.html

 

It worked like a charm. thanks

 

If, for example, you want to search the text appearing in .txt files you could use:
filetype:txt keyword as a dork.

 

I think this is not really like this. If you look for filetype: xyz this mean the output of search will be only .xyz files but search string will be matched against google results / keyword (domain name, file name itself, etc), not necessary the content of the file.

For example searching for:

filetype:doc Visual Basic
will turn different results from:
filetype:doc intext:.net Visual Basic
etc.

I guess I answered myself the question: intext: searches exact match in text of file you searched/google found.

Thanks to all who posted.

Best!
