| Website Search |
| Use Google to Search within a Single Website |
 Many websites do not offer their own built-in search box, but Google has devised a method to help one refine their search on a specific site. In order to enter your search, type the domain, a colon, then your search word—continuously, without any spaces. For example, if you want to search for information on technology in the nytimes.com website, one would type in nytimes.com:technology
