Is it possible to search for google docs documents/filetype from google search engine?
I know it's possible to search for .doc file types like so trucks filetype:doc
But is it possible to search for google doc filetype only?
Try this:
site:docs.google.com/document/d [search phrase]
Example:
site:docs.google.com/document/d volvo saab

In Google Docs I need to string replace a pattern ($$$newpage) with a page break. Is this possible with standard page search? Or do I need to do it programmatically?
I just started using the filestream and full text search technologies available on Microsoft Sql Server, I can index and search txt and pdf files, however, when I get the results I can't see the text, nor which page and/or line number that text was found inside the pdf for example, is it possible to at least retrieve the text from the document when a search is made? I believe it's not possible to return a "region" of text but maybe something I can use to look for in the file afterwards?
I'm trying to figure out the advantages of doing a search like this if I can't see the text that was found.
After doing a lot of research I concluded it isn't possible to search for a given page on an indexed pdf, so I decided to use solr instead and index the information the way I need to search later
I've tried search for this but have been unable to find anything on this. Basically, I'd like to be able to search the project that I'm working on but only search files with certain file extensions. Currently it searches everything and this adds time to the search that will never return results for what I'm looking for. Is there a way to do this or am I just out of luck?
Does your search dialog not look like this?
Ctrl + H or Search > Search will bring up this dialog which allows you to put in a file name pattern to limit your search... what are you doing?
I have large text documents. Say, if I search for "computer m", then I want to get "computer monitor", "computer memory", and "computer market share". How can I get matched phrases only?
Should I index files using ShingleAnalyzerWrapper?
Should I use SpellChecker for this purpose?
How can I do this?
org.apache.lucene.search.highlight.Highlighter is used to extract the best-matching text from a found document. Much like how Google will highlight (or display in bold) the matching text in your search results.
This blog entry that might help you get a start on it:

You can use MultiPhraseQuery for that.
I know the topic of removing www.experts-echange.com has been beaten to death but having to type -site:www.experts-exchange.com is tedious. Even the ability to auto add strings to a query would solve this problem. I can probably wrap this into some wget mess but this seems like basic functionality many users would base their search engine of choice on. If you have discovered some easy method to do this for yourself please let me know.
I imagine there is a really slick toolbar that feeds google your text plus the additional strings you choose. There is some internal limit to the number of words and or operators Google searches process (with good reason I suppose).
The Google Custom Search API allows you to include or exclude sites from your search. You can add a custom search engine to your iGoogle home page.

2 easy ways in Firefox:
Write a Grease Monkey script.
Use a search keyword. You type the keyword plus a string in the address bar to trigger a search. In this case the URL is http://www.google.com/search?q=-site:expertsexchange.com%20%s. To search on the site your tab is currently in, use javascript:location='http://www.google.com/search?num=100&q=site:'%20+%20escape(location.hostname)%20+%20'%20%S'%20;%20void%200
As an alternative to excluding results, I have a greasemonkey script that highlights google search results by domain. I configure subtle colors for a few sites of interest to me, like wikipedia & stackoverflow. But I use red for expertsexchange, which allows me to visually skip right over it.
I can publish my script if there is interest...
If you want to whip up your own script, you need to operate on two kinds of elements. Here are the two XPath expressions that I use:
//cite[contains(., '" + domain + "')]/ancestor::li[1]
//span[#class='a'][contains(., '" + domain + "')]/ancestor::div[#class='g']
Then I just apply background-color styles to matching elements. Pretty straight forward.
