Search by date, language, and file type

Typically, an operator is specified after the text of the search query and is separated from it by a space. You can use multiple operators in the same query, separating them with a space. If an operator itself contains a space, replace it with the %20 character combination.

When using operators where the hostname is a parameter (url, host, or rhost), enter the primary site address. For example, [host:archive.org], not [host:www.archive.org]. You can add a host to the Yandex database to find out whether a specific address is the primary one.
