Domain and URL Searches
Depending on the input, the search algorithm looks for different variations of the input.
- A search for a domain searches for that domain, subdomains, URLs, and emails
- A search for a URL with a path is treated as unique URL search and only finds exact matches
Examples:
example.comsearches for that domain, subdomains, URLs, and emailshttps://subdomain.domain.com/(with the slash appended) is treated as unique URL and only searches for thathttps://subdomain.domain.com/path/is also treated as unique URL
URLs are normalized before searching, which means the query part is removed.
Subdomains
Wildcard searches for domains are supported at one level:
test.comwill automatically searches for that domain and any subdomain below that.subdomain.test.comwill only search for that subdomain.test1.test.domainandtest2.test1.test.domainare both treated as unique domains, i.e. not in relation to each other. Searching for one will not return the other. The solution is to search for the specific domain.
Adding an asterisk as a prefix does not change that behavior.
Phone Numbers
The highest yield of search results for phone numbers comes from Russian numbers. Not all international phone numbers are currently recognized. Phone numbers must begin with an international code, using the +420, 00420, or 420 format.
