    I don't know what it is really showing, but it seems to be like the link: function except it shows every link.

    try to search for www..digitalpoint.com
    yes use 2 (two) periods after www

    The bolded answer will show www.digitalpoint.com but all bolded.

    strange??

    Or did you already know of this?



    p.s. I am not saying anything authoritive, I accidently found this, but not sure if means much except now I can find all the links my competitor has.

    Oh, in that case yeah... it's looking for anything with www and digitalpoint.com on the page itself.

    almost, except that searching for +www digitalpoint.com and www..digitalpoint.com return different results.

    EDIT:
    These two searches do appear to be the same:
    "+www.digitalpoint.+com" <<- this looks for the text "www.digitalpoint.com"
    www..digitalpoint.com

    So it is different than anything else??

    I was typing in one of my sites and accidently did that and since I have the google bar installed it took me to a search.

    One competitor has maybe 4 pages of results using link: with this they show over 20 pages?? strange if you ask me.

    ----
    adding:

    It seems to show lots of so called directories that show overture listings and the such.
