For example:\n    <\/p>\n<table class=\"responsive\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"2\"><code>site:<\/code> examples<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><code>site:example.com<\/code>\n          <\/td>\n<td>\n            Show results only from the <code>example.com<\/code> domain (<code>www.example.com<\/code><br \/>\n            and <code>recipes.example.com<\/code>).\n          <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>site:https:\/\/www.example.com\/ramen<\/code> tsukemen\n          <\/td>\n<td>\n            Shows results for pages that contain URLs that start with<br \/>\n            <code>https:\/\/www.example.com\/ramen<\/code> and are relevant to the term tsukemen.\n          <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The <code>site:<\/code> search operator is available on all Google Search properties.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"key-point\">\n      If a URL is indexed in Google, it can show up in search results for <code>site:<\/code> queries<br \/>\n      that are related to the URL, however it&#8217;s not guaranteed. If a URL doesn&#8217;t show in a<br \/>\n      <code>site:<\/code> query, use the<br \/>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/webmasters\/answer\/9012289\" class=\"external-link\">URL Inspection tool<\/a><br \/>\n      to make sure the URL can be indexed and to submit the URL to indexing. Also, double-check the<br \/>\n      query is correct; <code>site:https:\/\/www.example.com<\/code> doesn&#8217;t return the same results as<br \/>\n      <code>site:https:\/\/example.com\/<\/code>.<br \/>\n    <\/aside>\n<h2 id=\"uses-for-site-owners\" tabindex=\"-1\">Uses for site owners<\/h2>\n<p>A <code>site:<\/code> query can help in a few ways with debugging a site. A few examples:<\/p>\n<table class=\"responsive\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"2\"><code>site:<\/code> examples<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><code>site:example.com<\/code><\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Returns a list of indexed and serving URLs.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"note\">\n              The list of URLs returned is not always exhaustive. Bigger sites shouldn&#8217;t expect to<br \/>\n              see all their URLs in the results. A more specific prefix in the query may yield more<br \/>\n              results than broader prefixes.<br \/>\n            <\/aside>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>site:https:\/\/example.com\/recipes\/tsukemen.html<\/code><\/td>\n<td>May help you understand whether a specific URL is indexed and served.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>site:example.com viagra casino<\/code><\/td>\n<td>Helps with identifying and monitoring spam problems on your site.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>site:https:\/\/example.com\/<\/code> lemon<\/td>\n<td>Shows which URLs on the site can show up for the term &#8220;lemon&#8221;.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>site:https:\/\/example.com\/recipes\/tsukemen.html<\/code> lemon<\/td>\n<td>Shows whether the specific URL is indexed for the term &#8220;lemon&#8221;.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"limitations\" tabindex=\"-1\">Limitations<\/h2>\n<div class=\"video-wrapper\"><\/div>\n<p>\n      The <code>site:<\/code> operator was designed primarily for search users and so it has some<br \/>\n      restrictions that site owners might find limiting. Specifically:\n    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n        The <code>site:<\/code> operator doesn&#8217;t necessarily return all the URLs that are indexed<br \/>\n        under the prefix specified in the query. Keep this in mind if you want to use the<br \/>\n        <code>site:<\/code> operator for tasks like identifying how many URLs are indexed and serving<br \/>\n        under a prefix.\n      <\/li>\n<li>\n        A <code>site:<\/code> operator without a query (for example <code>site:example.com<\/code>)<br \/>\n        doesn&#8217;t rank the results. It will generally show the shortest URL for the prefix at the top,<br \/>\n        but otherwise the results are relatively random.\n      <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn all about the site: search operator and how it can help with debugging and understanding how Google sees your website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"menu_order":130,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"ar_kb_kategori":[700],"ar_kb_etiket":[],"class_list":["post-25604","ar_kb","type-ar_kb","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","ar_kb_kategori-debug-with-search-operators"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ar_kb\/25604","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ar_kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ar_kb"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ar_kb\/25604\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27602"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25604"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"ar_kb_kategori","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ar_kb_kategori?post=25604"},{"taxonomy":"ar_kb_etiket","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ar_kb_etiket?post=25604"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
