#Tip of the day from Journalism.co.uk: Google site search
November 16th, 2011Posted by Joel Gunter in Top tips for journalists
This will be an obvious one for some, like the Twitter dot tip I did the other week, but it’s also the kind of thing you could sail through life without finding out. And it’s very handy.
Websites’ own search tools are often not very good, or the results are poorly organised or displayed. Enter Google site search, which allows you to restrict your search to a specific domain.
Simply put site: before the domain. For example: site:journalism.co.uk phone hacking.
