Or find how many sites link to yours? Below is a list of common advanced search techniques with descriptions and examples:

Search for an exact phrase
"exact phrase to search"
Will return only results with the exact phrase.

Search within one website
site:www.website.com "search phrase"
This example searches through www.website.com for the phrase “search phrase”.

Search for link to a specific website
link:www.website.com
Will return all the websites that have a link to www.website.com.

Exclude words or phrases from search results
search phrase -excluded
Searches for the phrase but will only return results excluding the text after the minus sign.

View a cached version of a web page
cache:www.website.com
View a cached version of www.website.com

Search for a specific type of file
google ebook filetype:pdf
Searches for only PDF files containing ‘google ebook’

Search for phrase only in websites’ title tag
allintitle:"google articles"
Searches for web pages with “google articles” in the title tag.

Search for keyword only in website’s URL
inurl:googlearticles
Searches for pages with ‘googlearticles’ in the URL, including the domain name and subdomain or page names.

These are a great way to quickly search from Google’s home page, without having to click over to the advanced search.

If you have an iPhone, Blackberry, or Windows Mobile device, now you can point your phone’s browser to http://docs.google.com/m to view read-only, mobile-optimized versions of your docs and spreadsheets. (Your presentations, too, if you have an iPhone; we’ll be making this feature available for other devices shortly.) You might have to squint a little, but now your information will always be right there, in your pocket, wherever you go.

The interface only allows viewing. You cannot edit your documents, spreadsheets or presentations, but just being able to access all my Google Docs is enough for me. I don’t need to edit my documents through my mobile phone - I have a laptop for that.
