The query cache:url will display Google’s cached version of a web page, instead of the current version of the page. For example, [cache:www.fomaxtech.com] will show Google’s cached version of the Electronic Frontier Foundation home page.
Note: Do not put a space between cache: and the URL (web address).
define:

If you include group: in your query, Google will restrict your Google Groups results to newsgroup articles from certain groups or subareas.

The query info:URL will present some information about the corresponding web page. For instance, [info:gothotel.com] will show information about the national hotel directory GotHotel.com home page.
Note: There must be no space between the info: and the web page URL.
This functionality can also be obtained by typing the web page URL directly into a Google search box.
insubject:
If you include insubject: in your query, Google will restrict articles in Google Groups to those that contain the terms you specify in the subject. For example, [insubject:”falling asleep”] will return Google Group articles that contain the phrase “falling asleep” in the subject.

The query intext:term restricts results to documents containing term in the text. For instance, [Hamish Reid intext:pandemonia] will return documents that mention the word “pandemonia” in the text, and mention the names “Hamish” and “Reid” anywhere in the document (text or not).
Note: There must be no space between the intext: and the following word.
Putting intext: in front of every word in your query is equivalent to putting allintext: at the front of your query, e.g., [intext:handsome intext:poets] is the same as [allintext: handsome poets].
intitle:
The query intitle:term restricts results to documents containing term in the title. For instance, [flu shot intitle:help] will return documents that mention the word “help” in their titles, and mention the words “flu” and “shot” anywhere in the document (title or not).

Putting intitle: in front of every word in your query is equivalent to putting allintitle: at the front of your query, e.g., [intitle:google intitle:search] is the same as [allintitle: google search].
inurl:
If you include inurl: in your query, Google will restrict the results to documents containing that word in the URL. For instance, [inurl:print site:www.googleguide.com ] searches for pages on Google Guide in which the URL contains the word “print.” It finds pdf files that are in the directory or folder named “print” on the Google Guide website. The query [ inurl:healthy eating ] will return documents that mention the words “healthy” in their URL, and mention the word “eating” anywhere in the document.
Note: There must be no space between the inurl: and the following word.
