Can someone write all operators (link: , site: , linkdomain: ...) in Google/MSN/Yahoo ? With short decsription if possible. Or a link to a site where this is explaned on one place.

OK, this is for Google. Now for MSN and Yahoo? Maybe all three on one site for quick referrence...I mean all operators can be found separately, but it's time consuming to searc them every time on three places.

Some of those also work in Yahoo (and also in MSN i think)

Google operators: (http://www.google.com/help/operators.html)
"cache: URL , keyword" >> Gogle will highlight chosen words in cashed document.
"define keyword" >> gives short definition of the word
"define: keyword" >> gives definition from some Dictionary.
filetype: "SEO tools filetype: pdf" >> Narrows results to pdf format.
(doc, rtf (Word), xls (Excell), ppt (Powerpoint) and html, pdf, txt are supported.
"info: keyword" >> Shows sites which contain that term. It's the same as "searchterm".
"link: URL" >> Shows backlinks
"inurl:, inanchor:, intitle:, allinurl:, allinanchor:, allintitle: word(s)" >> will show all urls, anchor texts or site titles with that word (or all words, if "all" prefix)

"site: domain ext. keyword" site: .org shows only .org sites.

Google CODE search (http://www.google.com/codesearch):

linkdomain: URL >> backlinks to Home page AND to all subpages (subdomains)
url: URL/dir/dir >> shows if a particular page is indexed
(link:, site:, inurl:, intitle: as in Google.)

Ok, I know this might be boring, just to make this thread comprehensive. Other uses of Google search line:
-calculator: 3x4567 =
-currency converter: 556 USD in Euro...
-movie: a lot of dogs (Put in some terms you remember to get a title of a movie you forgot).

Try directly from Google search options (http://www.google.si/intl/sl/help/features.html#book).
