Search pages and sites
You can specify your search query using document operators, such as the host where the site pages are located.
Typically, the 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.
