Working smarter with Google SERP

Those, who, as me, are often interesting in what pages Google indexed from a domain, will value my three little helpers.

How many URLs Google indexes from a domain of the currently opened website

To know which pages from a domain Google saves in its indexing database, we use an extended search operator site:. Querying Google for site:example.com will show us all URLs, which Google indexed from the domain.

Now we want to run a site-query for the domain of the URL currently opened in our browser. With a single click.

Just save this code as bookmarklet and click on it, being on the site you are interesting in

How many URLs Google indexes from a domain of an URL in the text

But if we want to run a site-query for an URL, which is just placed in the page content? We can do it too:

Save this code as a bookmarklet, highlight an URL with the mouse and click the bookmarklet

Sequential numbering of search results

And, as last for today, a hint for hardcore search geeks. My default setup for Google SERP is 100 search results — I don’t like to click pagination. But 100 search results are, while scrolling, not so good to differ from each other. My hint for this: I numerate search results sequentially. With a single click.

Save this code as bookmarklet and click on it, being on the SERP site

BTW: you can use site-query with a wild card if you want to include or exclude subdomains. Like this:

Search for indexed subdomains beside www:

site:*.example.com -site:www.example.com
