Google Adds Title and URL Field Searches

Google has expanded its field search offerings. On the revised Advanced Search page, there is the Occurrences option which allows a title or a URL field search. These are also available on the regular Google search by using allintitle: or allinurl: as the field labels. It is unfortunate that Google does not just use the title: or url: syntax of AltaVista and others, but they chose not to. In addition, these field searches can not yet be combined with other search terms. Thus, Google does not provide a way to search for one word in a title and another word that occurs anywhere in the page text.
