Jim Stroud’s The Recruiters Lounge

Microsoft recently acquired the searchengine - AllTheWeb.com for $1.2 Billion dollars!!! (Wow!) Well, after I heard that sell price, I had to check it out.

When I visited the site I thought, “Oh yeah! I know these guys.”

AllTheWeb.com has actually been around for quite awhile, but somehow or other I had forgotten about it until recently. I recommend adding it to your bag of tricks and to help familiarize you with it even more, I made a 5 minute video. (Click here to check it out or the screenshot below.)

Now if you find AllTheWeb as useful as I have, you will enjoy this little cheatsheet designed to help you with your searches.

” “
Example: “pharmaceutical sales”
Use double quotes when you want to find an exact phrase

+
Example: +sales +marketing
Use the plus sign to require certain keywords in your search results, its like using the word “and” in a boolean search

-
Example: -jobs
Use the minus sign to exclude certain terms from your searches.

site
Example: site:ibm.com java
Use this command to search a specific website

domain
Example: domain:uk
Use the domain command to restrict your results to a specified domain.
