Dick Moores said unto the world upon 2004-12-12 11:53:I know how to limit google search results to a single site, but is it possible to google just one section of a site?
I'd like to be able to search just the 2.4 tutorial, http://www.python.org/doc/2.4/tut/tut.html
Possible? And if so, how to?
Thanks,
Dick Moores

Hey Dick and all,
that's odd. I tried searching with site:www.python.org/doc/ and site:www.python.org/doc but neither gave hits. :-(
From the "Department of there has to be a better way, but . . . ", try entering something like this into the google search box: site:www.python.org inurl:tut string
That will search www.python.org pages with 'tut' in the url that have 'string' in the page body. That doesn't restrict it to 2.4, or non-dev docs.
My best attempt:
site:www.python.org inurl:tut -inurl:dev inurl:current string
still pulls up hits like <www.python.org/doc/2.2.3/tut/node10.html> which don't have 'current' in the url. And, adding inurl:node to the suggested search yields no results, either. I'm not sure why. :-|
So, none of this gets you there, but it does get you closer.
<http://www.google.com/help/operators.html> shows how to use some of the more esoteric google operators.
You might also check out (and maybe improve) <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/GoogleTips>.
Thanks, Brian.
I stumbled across http://docs.python.org as a site, so at least searching within Python docs (which include the tutorial) is possible.
For example, site:http://docs.python.org "complex number" This finds 23 results, compared to the 334 returned by site:http://www.python.org "complex number"
To find the results for the tutorial, search the results page for
site:http://docs.python.org "complex number" and search the page on "/tut/". These will be for the tutorial. There are just 2 for "complex number"
A much simpler way to find things in the tutorial (after all) seems to be to use the "Python Documentation" help file that comes with 2.4. I searched on
"complex number" tutorial and got 3 hits, the 2 found with the method of the paragraph immediately above, plus one more in the index of the tutorial.
Dick
