www settings in Webmaster Tools

I was told that there is a setting in Google Webmaster tools where you can have Google view a site with and without www the same. Does anyone know if this is true and where it is in tools?

 

I would like to know this as well. I'm always concerned about www/non so I added a 301 in my htaccess, but it would be nice to know if this exists.

 

You can set that in the preferred domain settings (Tools -> Preferred domain).

More details are at:

I would like to know about that www in webmaster toold too.

 

preferred domain settings (Tools -> Preferred domain).
But remember to 301 domain.com to www.domain.com

 

Do not use the one in Google Webmaster Tools, just use a server side 301.

 

Yes, it is True

In webmaster tools, click on TOOLS, then PREFERRED DOMAIN.

Here you can change the setting for www

 

what google does is that, it just changes non www domain reference found during the searching to www. it does not automatically make your domain to use www. for that you need to use 301 directive. you can find more about that if u google www htaccess.
