Sometimes a simple Google search won’t do. Today I needed to find some malformed URLs in a site.   I couldn’t remember how to search for specific text in a URL.

I had a hard time finding the Google documentation of search commands this morning.  It I needed the allinurl: function.

I don’t want to have to search that hard again so here is the documentation in my Code Cave:

Search Service	Search Operators
Web Search	allinanchor:, allintext:, allintitle:, allinurl:, cache:, define:, filetype:, id:, inanchor:, info:, intext:, intitle:, inurl:, link:, related:, site:
Image Search	allintitle:, allinurl:, filetype:, inurl:, intitle:, site:
Groups	allintext:, allintitle:, author:, group:, insubject:, intext:, intitle:
Directory	allintext:, allintitle:, allinurl:, ext:, filetype:, intext:, intitle:, inurl:
News	allintext:, allintitle:, allinurl:, intext:, intitle:, inurl:, location:, source:
Product Search	allintext:, allintitle:

Here are a couple commands you might find useful.

This command finds files that are larger than half a gig:

find / -type f  -size +500M -exec ls -lh {} \;

This command finds files that are larger than 1 gig:

find / -type f  -size +1G -exec ls -lh {} \;

This command finds files that are larger than 1 gig excluding the home directory which might be on a different mount. (notice the removal of the -type f so that the not works on paths):

find / -not \( -path /home -o -path /boot -o -path /tmp \)  -size +1G -exec ls -lh {} \;
