Cool to know, i guess.
TIL that dotless record on newer gTLDs is forbidden, which explains my age-old question: "if google holds google., why are they only using it on domains.google? Surely having the url https://google https://google would be desirable for the folks in marketing?". The answer is that they can't possibly because the ban was added precisely because of this.
- KMnO4 4y agoGoogle actually serves a bunch of pages through their TLD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.google https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.google
- varun_ch 4y agoGoogle Search is actually a useful way to find sites on a TLD: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Agoogle https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Agoogle https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Agle https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Agle https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Agoog https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Agoog
- bdn_ 4y agoThis works with DuckDuckGo as well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32473643 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32473643 You can combine the exclusion `-` syntax with this as well. If you want to find different sites on the TLD `.test` but only URLs on `home.test` are being shown, you can use this search: site:test -site:home.test
- judge2020 4y agoI think it’s obvious that they use their TLD, just not via a root A record, so resources aren’t loaded via https://google/some.js https://google/some.js
- varun_ch 4y agoIt's not really the same, but Microsoft has https://www.microsoft/ https://www.microsoft/ as a redirect to their .com, which causes some weird side effects in Chrome's omnibox, because it automatically adds the www subdomain: https://imgur.com/a/2cVxnYf https://imgur.com/a/2cVxnYf
