: How can I know if a page that links to my site is actually indexed by Google? I want to know if a page that contains links to my site is indexed by Google. The classic site: works for

@Shanna517

The "problem" with the second URL is its query component (?EbY-kA), which Google ignores for the site: operator.

You could use the inurl: operator in addition:

site:jcfrog.com/shaarli/ inurl:EbY-kA


However, this does not guarantee that the query component comes directly after the path that is specififed in site: (e.g., it would also find pages with URLs like jcfrog.com/shaarli/foooooobar/?EbY-kA), or that the part in inurl: has to be a query component (e.g., it would also find pages with URLs like jcfrog.com/shaarli/foo/EbY-kA).



Another way could be the cache: operator:

cache:http://jcfrog.com/shaarli/?EbY-kA


This only works if Google has cached the page in question, so a failure does not necessarily mean that Google has not indexed it.

You can combine site: with search:

site:jcfrog.com "Le Conseil de l’Europe livre un rapport très critique sur les pratiques de la NSA "

Just type your site:exampl.com and add something to the query that's unique for that specific page and check the result if they match. Note the quotes around the string, telling google "Find this string as a whole"
