i'm on a new website and wondering for a while which is better of these suggesions for a url?
http://medical-eg.com/dr/name OR
http://medical-eg.com/dr.name
i see the second one is simpler and more grammatical.
but i don't want it to be on the favor of SEO.
thanks all....
First one is far better then the second one.
There are few benefits of it
First : Two keywords get target dr and name
along with that third keyword dr name will also get targeted.
Second : It will give an feel of categorised page to google and pages which are well categorised rank high
and there are many other benefits..
The first one is better, it is currently being used by latest Microsoft's MVC 3 and MVC 4 framework as well. Apart from that it helps the crawler to get information about the page much easier as compared to used dr.name like structure.
The 1st is the best of the two.
I would go for a different approach
http://medical-eg.com/dr-name-surname
also adding geo location to the url could boost SEO
http://medical-eg.com/geo-location/dr-name-surname

In short, I was wondering about which is best for good SEO?
https://example.com/articles/{id}/{slug}
https://example.com/articles/18/new-atlas-robot-revealed
or
https://example.com/articles/{slug}-{id}
https://example.com/articles/new-atlas-robot-revealed-18
Or, does it matter for SEO?
Is it related to Google News?
The first one is used by StackOverflow and it does a redirect when a slug did not given (or wrong) to the right, slugged version. And I'm liking it.
But while I'm surfing on the internet, I mostly see URLs like the second one.
Actually for the url naming, you can understanding as this way:
/ directory, or you can say folder path etc. For example: home/product/producta
- spacing replacement, For example: home/product/stack-overflow-product-a
Take an example your question url on Stack Overflow here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60635996/url-seo-id-slug-vs-slug-id
I am sure you see the sample :D
Here is more information for your references:

Hope it helps!

Google Code Search has been incredibly valuable to me as a developer - I use it a couple times a week to see how other developers have used (usually poorly documented) APIs. It's also convenient to see the internals of some of those APIs, or to find which API corresponds to the functionality you want (it's a great resource for Android in particular -- give it some of the text you see on screen, and it'll usually find the implementing class).
Now that Google shutting down code search as of January 15, 2012, are there any good replacements?
I have reviewed the following sites
The good
Krugle
searchcode
The broken or unsuitable
Antepedia (site is only a "We'll be back soon" page because Antepedia has been acquired)
The dead
Koders (discontinued)
SymbolHound Code Search
GrepCode (only Java)
SymbolHound (generic search engine, not just code)
Codefetch (unreachable as of 2016-08-23)
Codase (discontinued)
When I originally did the review, Koders turned out to be the winner for my purposes, but I really liked the user interface and features of SymbolHound Code Search better. The only problem with SymbolHound was the small number of sites it has indexed. The search[code] engine was also promising at that time.
Many of the sites I've reviewed have since been discontinued completely or have disabled their code search functionality. Krugle and search[code] seem to be chugging along, and GrepCode is good if you live in the Java world.
Take a look at these:
searchcode
krugle
Another one to consider is http://searchcode.com/ It supports regex search as Google Code search does. For example,
http://searchco.de/?q=/[cb]at/
http://searchco.de/?q=/a{2,3}/
http://searchco.de/?q=/^import/
http://searchco.de/?q=/atoi/%20ext:c
http://searchco.de/?q=/dll$/
Are all valid searches.
There is http://opensearch.krugle.org

Sometimes when I search in Google, appears a website and just below... several links from that website. Sometimes also (I don't know if it's related) I click on a result and the website shows me the page with the search terms highlighted.
How does that work? I mean, which technology or standard do I have to implement in my website in order to archieve those effects?
Thanks
Do you mean sitelinks?
Google's systems analyse the link structure of your site to find shortcuts that will save users time and allow them to quickly find the information they're looking for.
They only show sitelinks for results when they think they'll be useful to the user.
You can read more here http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=47334
EDIT
To answer your question, all you can do is make sure you have a well formed site with clear navigation which your users can use and find useful. If your site popular then Google will do the rest.
Google shows highlighted search terms on its cached pages
When you're viewing a cached result the page is stored on Google's servers - so they can modify as they wish (highlighting search terms).
If you're viewing them on actual websites this is due to either:
Google wrapper around the page (such as mobile viewing)
Google toolbar (or similar)

I am developing a site for a client and they currently own two domains.
howafarms.com and grassfedbeeffl.net
The current site has howafarms.com traffic forward straight to grassfedbeeffl.net. My question is.. which one should I use as the main url and which should I forward. Normal logic tells me howafarms.com should be the main url. But... from an SEO standpoint, I will already be winning the battle in google rankings if someone types howafarms.. so the added weight from the domain wont be very effective. On the other hand, if I use grassfedbeefl.net, I think the benefit from those words in that domain will help SEO quiet a bit more.
What is your opinion on this?
Google does give a bigger weight to EMD (exact match domains). It has been proven numerous times that ranking an EMD is much easier than non EMD.
If "how a farms" is a popular search term, then choosing howafarms.com is better choice than grassfedbeeffl.net. However, if people are searching "how farms" instead "how a farms" then howafarms.com adds no great value to your SEO campaign. Because it is no longer considered EMD.
Just to give you an example, try to search "seo tips" in Google search. Notice how many EMD are sitting at the top results? In spite them having a poor content. On the other hand quality sites which give you real SEO Tips are buried far away in Google search, just because they are not EMD and have to work harder.
In my somewhat qualified opinion there is really no need to change a domain name for SEO reasons. Google really couldn't care less what your domain name states because a domain name is no indication of content quality.
The only benefit that should concern you is the benefit to the user. If you think one domain will benefit users then go with that one, otherwise don't change a website to manipulate metrics no one outside of Google truly understands.

I am currently finishing up my first ASP.NET MVC application and would like to implement site searching. What are some options for allowing a visitor to search the site?
Lucene.NET
Answers to the following questions may help...
Is most/all content public, or login-protected? (i.e. can Google index it?) Or, would a "search appliance" be an alternative (though $$)?
If you want to use full-text search, how many different tables/columns need to be searched? What would your queries look like, if using LINQ? :)
Are common search terms represented in the page URLs? If doing custom searching, can you also search these, possibly with higher weight than in-page content?
You could use Microsoft Search Server 2008 Express. Its free and works of intranet apps.
