Our search engine also comes with some advanced capabilities to help
you find exactly what you're looking for. These capabilities are best
shown with a few examples:
Note on case sensitivity
- only search words or phrases containing an upper case character will
be treated as case sensitive. A search on "internet" will match
"Internet", "INTERNET", and "InTerNet",
while the search term "INTERNET" would match only links with
INTERNET (in uppercase) in them.
Prefacing a search term with a "special"
character can greatly help you to narrow your searches....

the quote marks forces the engine into a case-sensitive search.
url:
Find all entries belonging to
a given domain or matching a file name
url:www.mysite.com
url:*asp
The top example will return all
entries in the www.mysite.com
domain. The lower example shows how you could find every .asp
page listed in the engine.
mailto
Find all entries submitted by
a person with this email address
mailto:fred@mysite.com
mailto:fred@mysi*
This is a convenience search,
if you know who posted a link (or want to see if a certain person
has posted any links, this is how you'd find them.
*
Match anything
inter*
You can use the asterisk
as a "wildcard" to match parts of a word. In our example,
the search would return any listing with any word starting with
"inter". The asterisk does have one limitation: it
cannot span words - that is, the query "mat*arts"
would not match the first sentence of this description - and
it can represent at most four letters or numbers. To avoid overly
broad searches, the asterisk can only be used in words or phrases
which have at least three characters, so a search for "th*"
or "an*" would be ignored.
If you would like to suggest your site to be listed
in our directory please follow the steps below.
Before you can add site to our directory, check whether
it matches the following condition below
Step 1 - Checking Conditions
