Hi, Thanks for your replies.
I tried with following url formats separately, all are properly url encoded. 1. Plain URL 2. TinyURL 3. Bitly UR But those 3 behaves differently for same URL. For URL A TinyURL has results, For B Bitly has results, Plain URL also have some results. Finally I passed all three combined using OR operator... That gave me total results little in little bit high volume.. Still even that composit search produces very less than on-site URL for the same result.. That s the issue..
