is file: different than filetype:
- eieio 13y agofile: doesn't appear to be a documented command, while filetype is [1] Searching for a few random queries with either "file:pdf" or "filetype:pdf" shows that both return pdfs, but the results that I get are different. Not sure what to make of that or which is better. [1] http://www.googleguide.com/using_advanced_operators.html http://www.googleguide.com/using_advanced_operators.html
- James_Duval 13y agoFor me, "file:pdf" returns .pdfs, .pdf documentation, .pdf information...all kinds of things which aren't .pdf. "filetype:pdf" seems to be the only command which reliably returns just .pdfs. I'm in the UK, your mileage may vary.
