    I'm surprised no one knows a tool for this. It could be very useful for directory owners.

    I will see if I can find something too.

    People do know which commands still return only Supplemental results. It's likely that posting the query publicly will result in the loss of the operator as it has in the past. Appending the site search operator wit asterisks in the past was sufficient, and that was removed.

    The latest command was removed recently also.

    I'm fairly certain that the source of this issue can be traced back to a Mr. Matt Cutts, who was permitted to sit in at the "Give It Up" session at SMX where one of the first broadly public mentions of the query was brought to light. If you aren't familiar, the query used to display the full list of a site's pages that resided in Google's supplemental index - the place where pages with small amounts of link juice live. After Matt heard people discussing the query, he promised that they would be shutting it off at Google, much to the disappointment of webmasters.

    So why would someone offer up the commands that still work?
