Which operator would you use to locate documents whose URL contains the word 'login'?

• A. inurl:login
• B. allinurl:login
• C. allintitle:login
• D. site:login

Answer: (A)

Targeting where a term appears in a web page, specifically in the URL, is best done with the inurl: operator. Using inurl:login tells the search engine to return pages whose URL contains the word login, so you’ll find pages like /login, /user/login, or any path that includes that string. This directly serves the goal of locating documents based on the URL content.

Using allinurl:login would also look in the URL for the term, but it’s designed for multiple terms and is less direct when you have a single word. Allintitle:login searches titles, not URLs, so it won’t help locate pages by their URL. Site:login doesn’t constrain the URL at all; it restricts results to a specific site or domain, not to the presence of the word in the URL.
