# Debugging with Google Search Operators | Google Search Central

# Overview of Google search operators


Google Search supports
[several search operators](https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2466433)
that you can use to refine or target your searches. The following search operators may also be
useful for debugging your website.


For example, the `site:` search operator may be useful to monitor comment spam on
your website, and the image search `imagesize:` operator may be helpful to find
images on your site that are small.

> [!NOTE]
> Because search operators are bound by indexing and retrieval limits, the [URL Inspection](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9012289) tool in Search Console is more reliable for debugging purposes.


The following table contains the search operators that you can use to inspect different aspects of
your pages in Search:

| Search operators ||
|---|---|
| ## `filetype:` | Find search results in a [specific file type](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/indexable-file-types) as defined by the `content-type` HTTP header, or file extension. For example, you can search for RTF files and URLs ending in `.rtf` whose content contains the term "galway": ``` filetype:rtf galway ``` |
| ## [`imagesize:`](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/monitor-debug/search-operators/image-search#imagesize) | Find pages that contain images of a specific dimension. This search operator only works on Google Images. For example: ``` imagesize:1200x800 ``` |
| ## [`site:`](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/monitor-debug/search-operators/all-search-site) | Find search results from a particular domain, URL, or URL prefix. For example: ``` site:https://www.google.com/ ``` |
| ## [`src:`](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/monitor-debug/search-operators/image-search#src) | Find pages that reference a particular image URL in the `src` attribute. This search operator only works on Google Images. For example: ``` src:https://www.example.com/images/peanut-butter.png ``` |
