Force Google to search a specific website

Did you know that you can force Google to search a specific website? This can be helpful with sites that do not have built-in search features (like Blogger!).

Here's how. You simply have to type the following in the Google search window:

search term site:URL

Don't leave a space after the colon.

For example, let's say you wanted to find all the past posts on this blog, The Daily Beat, where I've reviewed a book or a movie. If you type the following in a Google search window, you will see that it returns only posts from The Daily Beat that include the word "Review."

Review site:thedailybeatblog.blogspot.com

When have I mentioned the word "zombie" on The Daily Beat? To find out, type the following in a Google search window:]

zombie site:thedailybeatblog.blogspot.com

To search my blog for posts with the word "pirate," type the following in a Google search window:

pirate site:thedailybeatblog.blogspot.com

Ninja would look like this:

ninja site:thedailybeatblog.blogspot.com

Got it?

Happy searching....
