    Here is an interesting one

    With big fingers [and perhaps a little of POETS day] I typed in

    site;www.,example.com and got 438 pages with other domains with the correct url there as well hilited

    @ returned 700+
    site: returned 329
    site; returned 410

    any clues ideas?
    :D

    They are 3 different queries, so you are going to get 3 different results. There should be no space, @ or; in it, and should be like:

    site:www.example.com

    The @ query is the same as doing a search for the domain (you will get other sites that have it as content). But there is one thing that is always strange... inurl: I would think yield the same results as site:, but inurl: always gives more...

    That's why you use the site: function in conjunction with it (see my example URLs)... :)
