 "text": "The essential operators:\n- `site:example.com` — search only within one website\n- `filetype:pdf` — find only PDF documents\n- `intitle:\"exact phrase\"` — pages with exact phrase in title\n- `inurl:keyword` — pages with keyword in URL\n- `-keyword` — exclude results\n- `\"exact phrase\"` — find exact string\n- `cache:url` — view cached version\nCombinations: `site:github.com filetype:md \"setup guide\"` finds Markdown guides on GitHub. `intitle:review \"tudor black bay\" -youtube` finds written reviews only.\nWillem uses these daily for research and finding documentation buried in large sites.",
