The "link:" operator will find pages that link to a specific URL. You can use this not only for a main URL but even to a specific page.

One of the handiest uses of Google, type in a quick calculation in the search box and get an answer. It's faster than calling up your computer's calculator in most cases. Use the +, -, *, / symbols and parentheses to do a simple equation.</LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dumblittleman.com/2007/06/20-tips-for-more-efficient-google.html"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"> <B>Definitions</B>.
