If you want to search FreePint using Google then the
best results are obtained if you search freepint.co.uk
as well as .com. You can trick Google into searching
two sites by using the OR 'pipe' syntax - in the search box:
google (site:freepint.com | site:freepint.co.uk )
The FreePint site search is currently being upgraded.
The domain name changed from freepint.co.uk to .com
Google indexes all FreePint content and so Will suggests
we search there. He goes on to recommend that we remember
to include 'freepint' in your search keywords but this
give sites outside FreePint as well. Google Advanced
Search offers Domain Restrict but the example shows the
word "site" and a colon followed by the one domain name.
You have to repeat site: as well as using OR, for example:
google site:freepint.com OR site:freepint.co.uk
The following examples show increasing accuracy in
showing sites from freepint.com OR freepint.co.uk ONLY.
Some links may break in email so I have also shown them
afterwards shortened using http://digbig.com
http://www.google.com/search?q=google+freepint
Searched the web for google freepint Results 3,780
but includes sites outside FreePint that link to FreePint.
http://digbig.com/3rtb
http://www.google.com/search?q=google+freepint.com
Searched the web for google freepint.com Results 3,050
This includes results from freepint.com (not .co.uk) and
several sites outside Freepint that link to Freepint.com
http://digbig.com/3rtc
http://www.google.com/search?q=google+site%3Afreepint.com
Searched pages from freepint.com for google Results 390
This only includes results from freepint.com (not all .co.uk)
http://digbig.com/3rtd
http://www.google.com/search?q=google+freepint.co.uk
Searched the web for google freepint.com Results 357
This includes results from freepint.co.uk (not all .com) and
several sites outside Freepint that link to Freepint.co.uk
http://digbig.com/3rte
http://www.google.com/search?q=google+site%3Afreepint.co.uk
Searched pages from freepint.co.uk for google Results 18
This only includes results from freepint.com
http://digbig.com/3rtf
http://www.google.com/search?q=google+(site:freepint.com+%7C+site:freepint.c
o.uk+)
Searched pages from freepint.com for google ( | site:freepint.co.uk ).
Results 408 - the most accurate
This includes results from both freepint.com OR freepint.co.uk
http://digbig.com/3rtg
Note that you have to be careful with the syntax (spaces ):
google (site:freepint.com | site:freepint.co.uk )
Note that your results may differ as Google indexes the web
but I went from 3780 > 3050 > 390 > 357 > 18 < 408
The syntax was cribbed from http://www.soople.com/
which has a built in function to search in multiple sites at once
using Google and predetermined categories.
Tara Calishain in ResearchBuzz #271 gave the link to Soople
