Google search operator builder
Advanced search operators turn a search engine from a keyword box into a precise filter, but remembering the exact syntax for each one is the part most people skip. This tool fills that gap: type terms into named fields — all these words, this exact phrase, any of these words, none of these words — and it assembles them into one query with the correct operators, in the order search engines expect.
Dedicated fields cover the rest: site: restricts results to one domain, intitle: and inurl: require a word in the page title or address, filetype: targets a specific document format, and a date range or number range narrows things further. Pick the target engine — Google, Bing or DuckDuckGo — and the query adjusts to that engine's syntax: Google's before:/after: dates and its a..b number range have no equivalent elsewhere, so they are left out with a note when they would be ignored. Paste a comma or line-separated list of domains into the site field and the tool switches to batch mode, generating one complete query per domain — handy for checking the same phrase across several competitor sites at once.
Turn on "Explain each operator" for a plain-language line under the query describing what each operator you used restricts, which doubles as a way to learn the syntax rather than just copy it. Turn on the direct search link and the output includes a URL that opens the query straight in the chosen engine's results — no need to type or paste it into the search box yourself.
Everything is assembled in your browser: the words and domains you enter are never sent anywhere until you click the generated link. Copy the query and link, download them as a .txt file, or send the output back into the input to keep refining it.
