Amateur Froogle question, what's equivalent of site: ?

    Pardon me. I'm such an Froogle amateur, and I barely know anything about it; I'm hoping that I can learn a lot here.

    Anyway, here's my first question. What's equivalent of site: in Google? Basically, what I want to find out is how many items/pages are indexed in Froogle from a certain e-commerce site.

    Q1. Do you have to know the store name?

    Q1.2. Do you have to go to the domain (for example, amazon.com), find out the store name, and then finally use the command?

    Q3. Isn't there any way to list items just by providing the domain name instead of store name?

    Ok, how do they specify store name in their website (Buy.com, Sears, etc)? Is that something Froogle picks it up automatically?

    Try the domain w/o the .com and replace any hyphens with underscores.

    site:www.sears.com also works - just remember to add a word "the" or "in" to get maximum number of products.

    Not all the time, if I do that for my own site, nothing
    comes up, and if I just put the URL, since my URL
    consists of common words a thousand pages come up
    with mine nowhere in stie.

    site:mysite.com doesn't work
    site:www.mysite.com sometimes works, usually not
    store:mysite.com doesn't work
    mysite.com doesn't work
    www.mysite.com doesn't work
    but
    http://www.mysite.com does work, but doesn't bring up all the products, only 25 of my 140 products come up using this.

    This has been little frustrating because I know a CEO with a fantastic sales volume for a pretty competitive product
    area and I wanted to spy on him to see what he is doing
    in froogle :)
