    Porbably a simple question, but what's the defference bewtween the results of an allinurl: and a site: search for a domain. Both return a different page count results.

    are you using www in your site: search? if so it won't return results in subdomains

    allinurl: search terms

    Returns only the results where 'search terms' are anywhere in the url. It works on words not url components and ignores punctuation.

    search terms site:domain.com

    Returns results only from domain.com for the 'search terms'. No space between site: and the domain. Sub-domains are included unless you specify e.g. site:www.domain.com

    Hope that helps.

    - Michael.
