How-To: Find Missing Page Titles with Inspyder Power Search

A quick guide to finding missing content with Power Search's negative match capabilities.

Step 1: Enter your Root URL

Run Power Search and enter the URL of the website you want to work on. For this example, we'll use 'www.inspyder.com'.

Step 2: Enter your Query

Enter the following into the Query field: <title>*</title> Set the Query mode as Wildcard.

This query will match any title text found on each webpage between the <title> tags. We want to find pages that have no title text, so we need to set this as a Negative Match. Click "More Query Options..." and check the "Negative Match" box. Click OK.

Step 3: Configure Additional Settings

Ensure that "Ignore Case" and "Include HTML" Query Options are checked. Ignore case tells Power Search to match the <title> tags in upper or lower case. Include HTML tells Power Search not to remove the HTML tags before using our query on the page.

Step 4: Click Go!

Click the Go button to start the crawl. Power Search will go through each page on the site and capture all the text found between HTML <title> tags. You can stop the crawl at any time by clicking the red "X" button. When the crawl is completed you can export the results by clicking "Project | Export Results..." from the main menu.
