Yesterday, there was a post on Reddit about Google allowing to search private (shared by link) ChatGPT conversations. Today, this no longer works on Google, but it does work on some other search engines.

DuckDuckGo now has a filter to hide AI-generated images from image search results. Hopefully, this feature will soon become a standard for all search engines and for all types of searches.

How to search by keywords in the title of only the main page of the domain? (Google β€˜intitle’ operator searches all pages)

One option is to use the "title" operator: in CriminalIP asset search. There are similar features in other IP search engines

Hunchly

It's a good old tool that's worth reminding once again:

- save the pages you visit (text, screenshots, path to opening)
- extract "juicy info" (email, IPs, Tor links and MUCH more + use your own regex)
- make notes, to-do lists
- generate reports

reversely.ai

Reverse image and face search engine.

Searches not bad, but in the free version it shows only part of the text from the found page (but it can be useful too).

Archive org does not yet have full text search of saved copies of pages, except for collections (Telegram, Pastebin etc).

But other web archives have such a feature. For example, Australian Troove (7,5B+ snapshots for .com domains + other domains).
