Mining Google with Advanced Search Operators and URL Modifiers

[chris]

A few months ago, Aussie marketer and friend Saijo George put together a killer list of Google search operators and URL modifiers, with a stack of example queries. It's useful for SEO, but I was just using it again today researching domain names so I thought I'd share it here:

These queries can be used to get some very handy information, since a *lot* of useful data is publicly indexed that doesn't come up in the regular search results.

I'll leave the queries to your imagination, but for example, if you own "widgets.com.au", you'd probably want to know about and keep an eye on redwidgets.com.au, bluewidgets.com.au or sites that are talking about widgets.

It's awesome work, worth checking out!

That's a great list, thank you!
One that's missing is the operator for Googling 'country independent' sites. For example if you want only AU results, you use:
&cr=countryAU
What if you want country independent results?
