How to see supplemental index results in Google

On a Friday afternoon, I learnt something new and thought I would post it here before I forget it.

You know the usual way to see the pages in the search engine index is to use the site: command in the search box.

But how do you see how many pages Google has in its supplemental index?

Well use the site command, and at the end add

*** -view

so, site:www.example.com

becomes

site:www.example.com ***-view

thats
space, asterix, asterix, asterix, space, hyphen, 'view'

Phase 2b of the home renovation project

Here are just two photos I quickly took with my mobile this morning.


This is the back of our lounge. You can see the
  • Grey on the walls - the bonding to fill the wholes made by the sparky.
  • The reddish roof - this is the drying finishing plaster - its all flat now.

This is the small bedroom upstairs. The walls are stripped back, there is a new ceiling.


At the present time we are having the wood and radiators stripped back and the house is in a right mess. So we are expecting 2 to 3 more weeks before this is all done.

Then.

The whole kitchen.
All floors.
The bathroom.

Then we can enjoy our home !

what you find in your garden when you buy a new house!

After culling the garden in our new home. We found that we were left a pet !

So, if you go to the bottom of the garden you will see our new addition to the family.

Any suggestions for a name?
