Prefix words or phrases with - to exclude matching documents.

Use url: prefix to search only in the URL field.

Examples

"free software" url:*wikipedia.org*: Search for the phrase "free software" only in URLs containing wikipedia.org.

golang template -url:*stackoverflow*: Search sites containing both "golang" and "template" but the website's URL should not contain "stackoverflow".

Search Aliases

Queries can become long and complex quickly. Aliases can be defined in the rules page to shorten common query parts.

Examples

go alias for (go|golang) matches either "go" or "golang" if you type "go".

!so alias for url:*stackoverflow.com* matches only sites where the URL contains "stackoverflow.com".
