How to Use Google Site command

If you do a lot of "Googling" these days you may want to know how to use the Google Site command.  When using the Site command, Google gives you a list of search results all from the same website.  Here's how it works:

  1. From the Google Search box, type your search keyword(s). (For example, as shown above, if you're looking for apple pie recipes, type apple pie).
  2. After the last keyword in your search, type a space then type the word site followed by a colon (i.e. apple pie site:)
  3. After the colon (no spaces please!), type the website from which you would like all the results. (i.e. apple pie site:www.foodnetwork.com)
  4. Press Enter or Return on the keyboard or click Google Search.
  5. The list of results is shown.  Notice in green under each result the website you specified in step 3 above is part of every link.
This is a efficient way of searching the internet.  Try your own example using a different website and search keywords.  Leave your comments below on your findings!

As always, happy clicking,
