I know this is a question that has been asked a hundred times on the Internet, but I have a couple of reasons to ask it here: (1) so it's on SO; (2) it's something that hard to find--there is a lot of junk.

What I'm trying to determine which page, for example, example.com is in the Google search results, for say "stackoverflow.com". Is there a website that does this and is reliable?

I understand that it's different depending on which browser, country, language, etc, etc, but maybe in the end the site even provides a link to the page that the result is on so you can determine what it used to search.

Right now the best method I've found is clicking next, ctrl+f, enter, next... And giving up after page 5 or so cause who looks that far anyway.

Edit: I'm not looking for this search query "stackoverflow.com site:example.com". My search string is "stackoverflow.com" and I'm trying to find example.com in the results.

The reason I ask& the reason it's programming related: The reason I ask is because it's SEO related. I often have clients wanting to find out where they are in the search results after some HTML changes they paid for.

Webmaster Tools: Yes, webmaster tools is a great tool for find the key words that are doing well at, but I find that when you first start out, you can be very very very far down the list and they just don't show it. I'm talking page 15. So you start a website, it's on page 50, you want to know that next week it made it up to 40 and the changes you made, made a difference.

EDIT: Since the question was clairfied, this is not the correct answer.

You are looking for all mentions of the text "stackoverflow.com" on the site example.com?

Google can do this.

Search for: stackoverflow.com site:example.com

Or visit Google's Advanced Search page for a UI for the same.

I think he's looking to find out what page in the google results his website shows for certain keywords.

Correct Unkwntech; see edit in question.

SEO is very similar to programming because a lot of the time is has to do with the "code"--the HTML--not the content of the site. But you are right SEO != Programming, but it is related, as related as http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3947/

I agree with your statement (because it is related to HTML, which is code). I take my comment back.
