Add an "inurl:" qualifier using "spec_html" as the value:
exim transport_filter site:
www.exim.org inurl:spec_html
3 hits (or 5 depending on how you or Google count);
#1 is (likely) the answer for this specific example.
Note: This method may suffer as the version numbers
(4.61, 4.62) proliferate due. And due to the '.'
character we cannot use the full version spec
(i.e., exim-html-4.62 doesn't work) so we will eventually
need to cheat a bit:
exim transport_filter site:exim.org inurl:spec_html inurl:62
With the "62" we get exactly THE answer, i.e., 2 hits,
one in the index and the actual page, but I expect this
was a bit lucky.
BTW, this particular search works without the site:
specifier but is not guaranteed to do that in general,
or if there were mirrors it would give duplicates page
references.
If you try using JUST the "62" version qualifier without
the "spec_html" you actually get the PDF specification
file in addition so if wish to short it, this works:
exim transport_filter site:exim.org inurl:62
...give 3 hits.
And since pretty much every page at exim.org has
"exim" we can remove the leading term (i.e., "exim")
in most cases:
transport_filter site:exim.org inurl:62
Ok, I got carried away but this helps me clarify
some things for myself as well. <grin>
Hope it helps others at both Exim.org and elsewhere.
