What is the difference between the two commands:

intitle:"keyword"
intitle:keyword

Both shows different results for a keyword.....

Acoording to me, the first one seem to follow exact match factor in title and second one doesnt...
M i right?...and is there any other difference between the two?

The right way to use this and other advanced operators is without quotation marks.

If you're checking for a phrase, however, don't you need to use quotation marks if you're looking for the exact phrase in a title? That's how I always do it at least.

Also, it's important to note that it doesn't actually show you only pages that are in the Title, but pages that have the phrase possibly in the Meta description as well, and possibly some other places.

As I understand it,

intitle:morris dancing lessons
will look for pages with "morris" in the title and the words "dancing" and "lessons" anywhere on the page.

intitle:morris intitle:dancing intitle:lessons
will look for pages with those words in the title, in any order

intitle:"morris dancing lessons"
will look for that exact phrase in the title

Just done a quick test. The result: as soon as I add quotation marks, Google starts ignoring the inurl: part of the query and searching for pages with exact matches in the visible copy. Both title and description metas are ignored. The page that came #2 had no exact matches in title or metas.

[added]Well, not exactly ignored, but it doesn't work as expected. The words within the quotation marks are in the title in all cases, but the order may be different from the one in the query. A bit too complicated, I'm afraid smile.gif [/added]

And is there a dif. between intitle and allintitle? I usually use the latter out of habit, but I know none of these things actually work exactly as one would hope!

allintitle looks for all words in the query. intitle - only for the one located nearest to the operator itself... I believe so smile.gif

That's my understanding too Irony.

allintitle:some keyword phrase

would be eqaul to

intitle:some intitle:keyword intitle:phrase

Bob had it right above. If you do an intitle:some keyword phrase on Google, it will look for pages that have "some" in the title, and then the words "keyword" and "phrase" somewhere in the content of the page. Whether it's in the Title or not.
