This article will teach you how to search for results on a specific website using Google. You can use this feature to view a list of all search results pertaining only to the website in question, or - if you're using Google Chrome - you can also search directly on certain sites that have built-in search capabilities.

To step

Method 1 of 2: With Google

  1. Open Google. Go to https://www.google.com/ in an internet browser of your choice.
  2. Click on the search bar. This is in the middle of the page.
  3. Indicate that you want to search for a specific site. Type site: in the search bar.
  4. Type the address of your site without the "www" part. This should immediately follow the tag site: without a space in between.
    • For example, to search Facebook, type site: facebook.com.
  5. Press the spacebar. This places a space between the address of the website and what you type next.
  6. Enter a search term or phrase. This can be anything you want to search for within the site.
    • For example, to search for "puppies for sale" within Facebook, your entire sentence should sound like this: site: facebook.com puppies for sale.
  7. Press ↵ Enter. This will perform your search; when the search results page loads, you should only see the search results that match your query and are on the website you specified.

Method 2 of 2: With Google Chrome

  1. Open Google Chrome Click on the address bar. This is the text field at the top of the browser window.
    • If there is text in the address bar, delete it before continuing.
  2. Type the address of a website. This must be the address you want to search for. Make sure to include the "www" portion of the website here.
    • For example, to search Facebook, type www.facebook.com.
  3. Find the message "Press Tab to Search". On the far right of the address bar, you should be a message encouraging you to click the Tab ↹button to search your website.
    • If you do not see this message, you cannot use the Google Chrome address bar to search within the site. You can still use Google to search within a site.
  4. Press on the Tab ↹-test. When you see the message "Press Tab to Search", press the Tab ↹button to open a search bar that allows you to search within the indicated website.
  5. Enter your search term or phrase. This can be anything you want to search for within the website.
  6. Press ↵ Enter. This will display the search query for your term or phrase within the specified website and allow you to view the search results if necessary.

Tips

  • You can use Google in any internet browser.

Warnings
