Having a heck of a time with operators - insider - 01-05-2012

Hey folks,

Just started using SB a few weeks ago and love it! I'm having a heck of a time with operators though. If I do something like:

inurl:new-years "Powered by Wordpress"

and add keywords like:

weight loss
lose weight

I get no results. Take out the operator and get tons. Run the same query through google and get 10's of thousands of results.

I thought maybe it was the - in new years so tried just "new" and then "year" and no joy. Tried intitle and every permutation I could think of. The radio button is set to custom footprint. I have no idea what's going on.

Any help out there?

Update -- intitle seems to be working this morning for yahoo but google is still returning nothing. inurl is still returning nothing at all. Scratching my head.

well it seems im not the only one.. i just boughht scrapebox a few days ago and its pretty much useless for what I was hoping it could do... and these forums seem dead.. which makes me wonder if the software is dead also.. maybe I was just too late in buying SB? I cant even get it to scrape backlinks link:http://anysite.com
I wonder if its changes to google, yahoo, or if SB is just finished?
is there anyone out there that is still able to scrape successfully?

Shane7y -- it turns out it's proxies. Try to use inurl quickyl with no proxies. Seems G knows it's a proxied connection and doesn't return anything. I tried with private proxies and it worked the first time, then no more. I'm interested in a workaround to exposing my IP.
