Combining
The forms html~, text~ and like~ accept,
and how they combine with each other and with an ordinary query.
Several examples - similar to all of them
Separate domains with commas, without spaces. A website has to be like every example, not just one of them, so the more examples, the narrower the list. Up to 10 domains or phrases in one search.
With an ordinary query - its results, most similar first
Add an operator to any query. The query decides which websites are in the results; the operator decides their order.
"googletagmanager.com/gtm.js" like~jquery.com
like~jquery.com site:de
Markup from one example, content from another
html~ and text~ can be used together with different
examples: built like one website, about the same thing as another.
Forms
- The operator name can be written in any case:
LIKE~works too. - A domain can be written as it appears in the address bar:
https://,www.and the path are ignored. The home page of the website is what gets compared. - Words go in quotes:
text~"wedding photographer". Without quotes the word is read as a domain. html~takes only a domain. To find websites with a piece of code, search for the code itself in quotes - see basics.- Inside quotes an operator is ordinary text:
"like~jquery.com"looks for that string in the source code.
Results
- Only home pages are compared, one result per website.
- The example itself is left out. Copies and mirrors of it stay - nothing is more similar.
- Equally similar websites are ordered by popularity.
- The example has to have its home page in the index; otherwise the search says so and returns nothing.
