Over the past few weeks, I've noticed something strange.
The inurl: and intext: search operators, staples in every SEO's toolkit, appear to be behaving inconsistently across different regions.
In some locations:inurl: queries return partial matches or result in nothing found screensintext: results look blended with standard broad match results
There's been no official announcement from Google.
But the SERP behavior suggests something has changed under the hood.
I'm curious:Are you seeing the same behavior in your region?Have you found reliable workarounds?
Search keeps getting less transparent.
