1. Introduction to Noones.eu.org

Noones.eu.org is a privacy-friendly meta search engine powered by open-source tools like SearXNG or Whoogle (depending on configuration). Unlike traditional search engines, it doesn’t track users, profile you, or sell your data.

  • Fast and responsive
  • No ads or sponsored results
  • Customizable query engine
  • Supports advanced syntax for power users

Understanding how to use this engine to its full potential can supercharge your search experience.

2. The Importance of Advanced Searching

Why not just type a few keywords and be done with it? Because in the ocean of the internet, finding the exact page or document you need requires precision.

Advanced searching helps you:

  • Save time
  • Get accurate results
  • Filter out noise
  • Discover hidden or niche content

3. Basic Search Tips for Beginners

Before diving into complex syntax, here are a few starter tips:

  • Keep your queries concise
  • Use natural language when unsure
  • Start general, then narrow down

Example:

how to install linux mint on usb drive

Refine it by adding more specific terms or using operators.

4. Operator 101: The Foundation of Power Searching

Operators are short command-like instructions embedded in your search query to give it structure.

OperatorPurpose
site:Search within a specific domain
inurl:Match words in the URL
intitle:Match words in the page title
filetype:Search for specific file types
-Exclude a word from the results
" "Exact match of a phrase
OR / ANDCombine logic-based conditions

Each of these will be covered in detail below.

5. Using site: to Limit Your Search to Specific Domains

Syntax:

site:domain.com your keywords

Example:

site:reddit.com batocera tutorial

This query will only show pages from reddit.com related to Batocera tutorials.

Advanced: You can also search within country-specific sites:

site:.ma news inflation

This shows results from Moroccan domains (.ma).

6. Exploring URLs with inurl:

Want to find content that includes certain words in the URL?

Syntax:

inurl:keyword other keywords

Example:

inurl:dashboard camera live

This can help you find IP camera dashboards or panels. Use ethically!

7. Targeting Titles with intitle: and allintitle:

intitle: (only one word needs to be in the title)

intitle:index of mp3

allintitle: (all words must appear in title)

allintitle:free ebook linux

These are perfect for discovering pages that list files or free learning material.

8. Filtering by File Type with filetype:

Search only for documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and more.

Syntax:

filetype:pdf keyword

Examples:

  • filetype:pdf excel tutorial
  • filetype:ppt climate change
  • filetype:docx cv template

Combine with site: to narrow sources:

site:edu filetype:pdf neural networks

9. Getting Exact Results with Quotes " "

Sometimes you need results that exactly match a phrase.

Syntax:

"exact phrase here"

Examples:

  • "how to change password in linux"
  • "index of /mp3 arabic"

This helps avoid synonyms or loosely related results.

10. Excluding Irrelevant Results with the Minus - Operator

If you’re getting irrelevant results, exclude them.

Syntax:

your keywords -wordtoremove

Example:

raspberry pi projects -arduino

You can chain exclusions:

debian iso -torrent -reddit

11. Combining Operators for Custom Queries

Advanced users often combine multiple operators.

Examples:

site:github.com inurl:awesome filetype:md
site:edu filetype:pdf "machine learning"
intitle:index.of (mp3|mp4|pdf) -html -htm

12. Open Directory Searches for Files and Media

Use the power of directory listings to find music, movies, or files.

Example Queries:

intitle:"index of" (mp3|pdf|avi|mp4)
intitle:"index of /ebooks" filetype:pdf

Exclude web pages using:

-intitle:html -inurl:php -inurl:asp
