Me neither.
I just asked the Seeks people: Seeks is a meta-frontend so it should would.
I could not get the OR clause to work.
My test with 'site:'+domain+' acrobat OR "adobe reader" -filetype:pdf' seemed to work.
Great.
However, the script now pauses, so if you run the script in serial (i.e not parallel) then it should stay below the 100/day. So leave running for a few days to slowly work its way through the domains.
I think it's useful to limit the number of search results per requested domain. We only really want to know if the website still has at least one issue and maybe just get a few examples to point out to the website maintainers when we contact them.
That is not a good service: If they fix the problem for the 2 examples and for all future pages, we will still be getting back to them next time we do this. I think it is a much better service to help them find what pages have the problem - we are most likely better at doing that than they are anyway.
