As mentioned in a recent Cheap Trick of the Week, you can narrow down your search in most search engines by using the title prefix. For instance, if you enter title:aardvark in search engines such as Yahoo, HotBot, AltaVista, InfoSeek and Excite, you’ll get results that include only those with the word "aardvark" in their Web site title, such as "The Aardvark Page".

But now two more search tips are revealed.

You can also use the url prefix to select only sites that have the word in their URLs (Web site addresses). So url:aardvark will turn up results like www.souprecipes.com/aardvark.html.

Or use the domain prefix to narrow your search to domains, such as .com, .org, .ca and so on. For example, a search on aardvark domain:.org might turn up www.exoticpets.org/aardvark.html. In Yahoo, the title and url prefixes can be shortened to t and u, as in t:aardvark and u:aardvark.
