inurl tag, single letter,word wildcard in one.

[chesss]

proboards.com is forum hosting service . The addresses of the forums are as follows: forumname.proboards??.com where forumname is the name of diff forums and '??' refers to a two digit number.
What i want is to get a list of all the forums(top subdomains) . Now to get the 2 digit number i know i can use "proboards??.com" in netscape search , but unfortunately it doesn't seem to support the inurl: tag and the single word wilcard.

So the ideal search(i think ) wld be something like : inurl:*.proboards??.com

Does anyone know where i can do this kind of search?? I short i want inurl tag, single letter wildcard and one word wildcard in a searchengine.
Hoping to get some help here.

Thanks

btw why is this forum so quiet?? i mean who doesn't need help in searching.

Hi!

I have tried a few searches.

On Google this searchfrase "proboards 0..99 com" will give you all pages where such an url is present in the content. Maybe you could combine this with a site: search somehow?

That's all for now. I might just try a few more alternatives later on.

inurl:"proboards 0..99 com" works great, thanks man! http://www.google.com/search?q=inurl%3A%22proboards+0..99+com%22&btnG=Search
One question though . Didn't "exact terms" meant that whatever came within the quotes had to match exactly as given within th quotes? If so then why does "proboards 0..99 com" matches proboards.55.com

btw the results i get are like sincityforums.proboards.59.com/
but what i really want is something like sincityforums.proboards59.com/ .
