Search Web by Domain

Using Search

• Only the hostnames of the sites are stored, not the contents of the sites.
• The search is not case sensitive.
• For the best results, do not use space separated words.
• To refine a search that returns too many sites, try limiting the search by Simple Search. Then search on a word that more precisely describes what you are looking for. The output of a previous search may be helpful in deciding what word to use.

Syntax

The search program can take patterns containing the valid domain name characters A-z, 0-9, '.', underscore ('_') and minus ('-'). The ':' port specifier character, and some metacharacters;

• * matches any number of characters.
• ? matches a single character.
• [ ] matches on specified characters; eg. [aeiou] matches any vowel.
• All other characters are removed from the search string.

If a pattern with no metacharacters is supplied, then the behaviour is as if there was a wildcard character at each end of the pattern, eg. "Disney"

Try Some Examples

• Sites matching "ActiveX".
• Sites in "*.sun.com". Note the "*." at the start of the search pattern to force a match within the .sun.com domain.
• Top level domains that have their own web server: "www.??" and "www.???". Note that '?' matches any single character.
• Oracle web sites in the country specific domains: "www.oracle.*.??" and "www.oracle.??".
• US State government web servers: "www.state.??.us".
