Is it possible to use site: and allintitle: in a google search at the same time? I want to find results with various search terms in the Google returned page title but restricted to a specific site. I know how to do either one but not both together and can't find anything at all looking online? All help shows you is how to do each separately.
No - the allintitle operator can not be used with other operators.
You can use multiple intitle operators instead.

although allintitle:, allinurl, allintext:, & allinanchor: are exclusive, you can use multiple intitle: & site: filters in the same query to achieve almost the same result as combining them with other filters, e.g.,
intitle:(dog house) (site:cnn.com | site:*.gov)
intitle:((cat | dog*) AROUND() people) (site:cnn.com | site:*.gov)

Performing wild carding on wrongly spelled term will not allow autocorrection/dym be calculated for the non wild carded term.
Example:
Searching iphont will be autocorected to iphone and return
results.
Searching for iphont* will not get corrected and return any results or
suggestions.
I understand there is an processing order but is there an OOB way to make this work instead of doing 2 queries (wild carded query, if no results regular query)?
According to documentation wild carded searches don't support several search features like autocorrection, dym, phrased search, thesaurus etc.
Trying to search tiles through the api using a generator.
I notice that there are two possible generators, with both I have problems:
prefix search - doesn't work well if I have multiple words and the order is reversed in the query (for example "brian adams" would return an answer, however "adams brian" does not
search - seems to not allow searching by titles, only by text which returns low-quality results.
Anyone knows of a way around this?
"srwhat=title" is disabled, so you should use "intitle:" in your search query:

I am trying to search for only people from Wikipedia and return them in some format (ideally using regex, but a simpler search is okay).
The following query is close, but doesn't allow me to include a specific search query and it appears to only included dead people (well I believe historic figures).
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srsearch=wikipedia&srprop=timestamp&eititle=Template:Persondata
The following query works although I can't seem to limit the results to people only.

I would like to use Google to search for certain platforms. The platform I want to search for today is Big Commerce. I just want a list of websites that are using Big Commerce.
I have found a common ground between bigcommerce sites. Most if not all use Bigcommerce for the nameservers. They also have this script in their head tags http://cdn2.bigcommerce.com
I have searched for "http://cdn2.bigcommerce.com" but don't get many bigcommerce sites. How can set a search query within google to find sites that use Bigcommerce for nameservers or have http://cdn2.bigcommerce.com within their head tags?
Experiment with search queries such as:
inurl:http://cdn2.bigcommerce.com
inanchor:http://cdn2.bigcommerce.com
fashion inurl:http://cdn2.bigcommerce.com
Can combine inurl: or inanchor:, e.g.,
inurl:http://cdn2.bigcommerce.com OR inanchor:http://cdn2.bigcommerce.com
inurl:http://cdn2.bigcommerce.com | inurl:http://cdn.bigcommerce.com
where OR and | are synonymous for search for either this or that and can be contained within parentheses if your queries get really complicated, e.g., (this OR that) ("dog house*" | catbird")
I have been tasked with finding a way to perform different actions, or display different content based on the search terms that someone used to find the site. I have seen other sites do this before (display my search terms to try to make the page look more relevant), but I don't know how this is done.
How can I fetch the search terms used to find the page?
I believe this is usually done by inspecting the value of the HTTP_REFERRER. You don't mention which language you're using, but you can obtain this in PHP with $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERRER']
