Does "site:" work on directories? IIRC you'd have to use "inurl:" for that...
It appears to.
Excellent.
(This trick is also very useful for searching Wikipedia, since "inurl:" lets you define what namespace you want)
Interesting, I'd never thought of that.
Admittedly, to use Main it involves having to add "-inurl:wiki/Talk -inurl:wiki/User ...", but such is life.
On the matter of search functions, I recently discovered - when doing global searches for ASINs, something I must get back to - that the Wikipedia internal search works on the raw text, not the displayed text - so it covers URLs which have been included but are given linknames...
Interesting applications of this are left as an exercise for the reader.
