      Hi mozzers,

      Anyone know how to do a yahoo search to return results that meet have a specific URL

      For example, say I wanted to search for the keyword finance and I only wanted it to return results with the word "business" anywhere in the URL.

      I have done in the past, but I just cant remember how to do it!

      Thanks

        Hi Peter,

        I think the operator you need is "inurl:" The operator "intitle:" will search for the keyword in the title tags.

        Here is a full list of search operators for Google and Yahoo.

        Happy advanced searching 🙂

            Hi Wissam--Lucky for us, inurl is still a valid operator. See this example in action for "SEO"
