Over at the new Yahoo! Search Blog, initiated on August 18, a semi-anonymous (initials only) entry finally appeared yesterday. The title is “Search Tricks #1″. They weren’t kidding about the 1. After the obligatory Google-bashing and self-aggrandizing prose, all of one search tip appeared. “Another semi-hidden treasure we offer is the inurl: prefix” JR of Technical Yahoo! wrote. Fortunately s/he gave an example, because the explanation that it is useful to search a shared server is pretty cryptic for most of us. A more astute reader identified only as “fred” pointed out in a comment that many more search tips have been available at addresses like this.
