Craft advanced search-engine queries and Google dorks to surface hidden files, documents and mentions. Covers site:, filetype:, inurl:, intitle:, intext: and before:/after: operators, verbatim search, exposed directory listings, config files, backups and open S3 buckets, and the operator differences between Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo and Yandex. Use when building a Google dork, hunting a leaked document, or searching paste sites and document repositories for a name, email or selector. Applies to data-exposure audits, pre-engagement reconnaissance, competitive and regulatory research, and insider-leak investigation. Reference at useosint.com/skills/google-like-a-spy.

# Search operators

Operators turn a search box into a filter over a crawled index. The cost is that
you are querying somebody's *index*, not the web — coverage, freshness and
operator fidelity vary enormously between engines. The mistake beginners make is
assuming their query ran as typed. Google routinely drops, stems, and
synonym-expands your terms, so a zero-result dork and a silently-rewritten dork
look nothing alike but are equally useless.

## Which engine for which job

| You want | Go to | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Broad coverage of mainstream web | Google | Largest index, worst operator fidelity |
