While profiling example.com, you learn the network team occasionally stores router backups on an internal web share. To verify whether any of those backups were accidentally indexed by Google, you want to locate pages inside example.com that contain the standard Cisco header line "Current configuration" and have a .cfg extension. Which Google query is the most efficient choice?
The site: operator restricts results to a specific domain, and filetype: limits matches to a given extension. Quoting the phrase "Current configuration" looks for the exact Cisco IOS header that appears at the top of most saved configurations. Combining all three selectors-site:example.com filetype:cfg "Current configuration"-returns only configuration files residing under example.com that include the distinctive header text. The other options either search outside the target domain, miss the required file extension filter, or rely on weaker heuristics that are likely to yield many unrelated results.
