Live Search tool for text on websites
-
Hi everyone,
Does anyone know of an online scanner / search tool that will do a live check for the occurance or a word or phrase on a website?
I know you can use Google's site:domainname.com <word phrase="">but that is only checking what Google has in its current index for that site. I am looking for a tool that will do a live scan and search (i.e. as at the time) and then return a list of occurances it has found for the word or phrase.</word>
Thanks in advance for this.

Thanks all for your responses on this. I do have Screaming Frog but not the paid version.
However, my need was fairly simple in that a client asked us to remove all references from their website to a location of one of their offices that they had now shut. So nothing black hat or detailed required. Rather I was just looking for a tool that would do a simple yet comprehensive search of their site so I could make sure we have removed all references.
Thanks though all of you for your help.

Another vote for Screaming Frog. Although you'll need the paid version to so this, it's such an incredibly useful tool, you'll want a license anyway.

You could use Screaming Frog to do something like this. Go to Configuration-> Custom and add the word or phrase you are looking for. Screaming Frog will collect URLs that have that word in the site HTML.

Naughty black hat scrapers do that. I'll let you find them as they are good for finding a multitude of things here is the wiki though :

Why doesn't Google show my site in the results when searching for my exact URL ?
I haven't done too much work with optimizing the site yet, but I was curious as to why the site doesn't even show up in any of the google results when searching on the exact URL. What could cause this behavior?

Google Keyword Tool - Competition - How does it compare to SEOMoz Keyword Difficulty?
Hi, Many times, when I look up a keyword in google using their Keyword Tool, the competition might be low or medium, but, it doesn't seem close to the keyword difficulty on SEOMoz. For example, I looked up fantasy sports. It's low competition on Google. I thought, wow, that's amazing. How can that be when it's so popular? Huge search volume, low competition. Then, SEOMoz says 76% difficulty. It sort of shatters my enthusiasm all of a sudden. Maybe I have to change the order of how I look at it 🙂 What is the difference that's going on? What would be considered low keyword difficulty on SEOMoz? How about medium and high? I know someone might argue that for some guru, what's hard for one person isn't hard for the guru, but, for the average webmaster who does some seo, uses SEOMoz, and some other SEO tools, is there some general breakdown? Thanks.

Keyword Difficulty Tool
Hello, I've been using the above more and more - with some great results. I have just run a report for a brand term and that brand has the new style sitelinks - 12 in total. So the output from the Keyword Difficulty Tool is focussed solely on the main url and then 9 sitelinks, rather than 10 different domains. Is there anyway around this? What do people think I should do? Is it: a) ok to use the output or b) because the output is skewed to one domain is the data not robust enough or... c) something else?? Thanks Alex

Search volumes broken down by region
Hi, Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a keyword research tool available that breaks down search volumes by region. For example, how many searches there are in London/South East for the keyword "cars". All the tools I have seen only go down to country level. Are there any that go down to region/city level? Thanks for your help. Mik
