+

+
+### Text Location
+
+inurl:wiki permanent record intitle:"security" before:2019

+inurl specifies text must exist in the url. Similarly, intitle requires text to be in the title.

+## Generality
+
+Google's search engine supports these dorks, and it should generally be the case other search engines do as well. Despite this, it hasn't been my experience this is always the case. One of the most useful dorks, specifying date ranges, seems unsupported by duckduckgo.
