Google dork generator

Search engines answer far more precise questions than most people ask. Enter a name, email, username, phone number or domain and get ready-made queries that find profiles, documents, pastes and mentions.

Runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Each one opens in a new tab. Nothing is searched until you click.

What is a Google dork?

A dork is a search that uses operators to narrow results down: site: keeps results to one website, filetype: to one kind of file, inurl: and intitle: to words in the address or title, and quotes to an exact phrase. Combined, they turn a vague search into a precise question, such as “PDFs on this domain” or “pages on social networks that mention this exact email address”.

Operators used here

  • "exact phrase": only pages with these words in this order
  • site:example.com: one site; site:*.example.com its subdomains; -site: leaves a site out
  • filetype:pdf or ext:pdf: one file type
  • inurl:, intitle:, intext:: words in the address, the title or the text
  • OR and brackets: any of several terms; -word: leave a word out
  • after: and before:: pages from a date range (Google)

Use it responsibly

Dorks only find what search engines have already indexed, but they find it fast. Look up people for legitimate reasons, and look for exposed files and admin pages only on domains you own or are allowed to test.

Frequently asked questions

Is Google dorking legal?

Searching is legal: the queries only ask a search engine for pages it already shows the public. What you do with the results is a separate question. Opening exposed admin pages or files on systems you are not allowed to access can be illegal.

Why do some queries return nothing?

A dork only shows what has been indexed. Many profiles are hidden from search engines, and operators behave a little differently on Bing and DuckDuckGo than on Google.

Does this page search for me?

No. It only builds the queries. Each link opens the search engine in a new tab, and nothing you type is sent anywhere until you click one.

Can I link to a ready-made set of queries?

Yes. Add ?type=email&q=jane@example.com (or name, username, phone, domain) to the page address and the form is filled in.
