Have you tried Google's operators? For example, searching for:
link:www.cnn.com -cnn.com
will show you what links to www.cnn.com but isn't itself cnn.com. To search for links to this post, it could look something like:
link:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23179276 -ycombinator.com
- tittlemansCrest 6y agoWow, I've never spent the time to look through all the operators. 'link:' gets me most of the way there. Thank you!
- ksaj 6y agoThere are others to help you hone it in. Put mandatory things in quotes or with preceding +. There are also operators for inurl: and also filetype: (or ext:) that I have used often enough when looking for things that come in specific formats. EDIT: I just read one of your other responses. Take a look at adding site: to the google searches. You could only do one site (reddit, hn, slashdot, etc) at a time, but it's still at least an easy way to get specific results.
- tittlemansCrest 6y agoIt'd be cool if you could do multiple sites & then save that to an alias or something. Thanks so much for your help!
