Help Needed ! How to find the page index?

[sviba]

Please explain why the google shows different results

I just search how many pages are indexed in the city atlanta. So i used like the following things

site:sample.com atlanta = 29,200
site:sample.com/atlanta = 967
inurl:atlanta site:sample.com = 1,830

please explain the difference of each query.


Thanks
Vijay.

Pretty easy question:

site:sample.com atlanta = 29,200 == pages from THAT site with the word "atlanta" on the page somewhere, or in the URL.

site:sample.com/atlanta = 967 == pages in only that folder.

inurl:atlanta site:sample.com = 1,830 == pages from just that site, and with "atlanta" anywhere in the URL, not just that /atlanta/ folder.

Don't forget that this search will show both non-www and www pages; though the smart money already has a site-wide 301 redirect from non-www to www installed.

Thanks for your informations

Also i have checked like

allinurl:addtofav site:sample.com/atlanta = 0

allinurl:atlanta addtofav site:sample.com = 17,600
shows the page sample.com/atlanta/addtofav.aspx?CId=61299

Why the first query returns zero. (In the URL contains the word atlanta and addtofav)?

Please advice me.
