      Hi everyone,

      Does anyone know of an online scanner / search tool that will do a live check for the occurance or a word or phrase on a website?

      I know you can use Google's  site:domainname.com <word phrase="">but that is only checking what Google has in its current index for that site. I am looking for a tool that will do a live scan and search (i.e. as at the time) and then return a list of occurances it has found for the word or phrase.</word>

      Thanks in advance for this.

      Peter

        Naughty black hat scrapers do that. I'll let you find them as they are good for finding a multitude of things here is the wiki though :

        Have you tried the Moz "brands and mentions" tools ?

          You could use Screaming Frog to do something like this. Go to Configuration-> Custom and add the word or phrase you are looking for. Screaming Frog will collect URLs that have that word in the site HTML.

            Another vote for Screaming Frog. Although you'll need the paid version to so this, it's such an incredibly useful tool, you'll want a license anyway.

              Thanks all for your responses on this. I do have Screaming Frog but not the paid version.

              However, my need was fairly simple in that a client asked us to remove all references from their website to a location of one of their offices that they had now shut. So nothing black hat or detailed required. Rather I was just looking for a tool that would do a simple yet comprehensive search of their site so I could make sure we have removed all references.

              Thanks though all of you for your help.
