Detailed help

This search engine searches the HTML code itself.
It matches any case.
It second-guesses what I think you mean when you enter unusual characters or spaces:
- Any unusual (i.e. non-alphanumeric) characters are translated to "." which means "any single character". For instance, if you enter dcu.ie/~humphrys you may notice it gets translated to dcu.ie..humphrys
- Any spaces are translated to ".*" which means "any sequence of characters". For example, dcu.ie humphrys will search for "dcu.ie" followed later on the line (not necessarily within 2 characters like above) by "humphrys".
To summarise, it looks for all your words and word fragments in order on the same line. It will match when the word fragments are separated by non-whitespace (including inside other words), and it will match word fragments inside the HTML code itself. For example, max happ would match "maximize happiness", "Maximize Unhappiness" or "Maximize Collective Happiness".

Do I link to you? Because it searches the HTML itself, you can easily find out if I link to particular web pages (for example, if I link to your web pages anywhere). Simply search for a fragment of URL that would identify a link to you. For example, to see if (and where) I link to the World Wide Web Consortium, search for w3.org.
