Google Search

To narrow your results in specific ways, you can use special operators in your search. Do not put spaces between the operator and your search term. A search for [site:nytimes.com] will work, but [site: nytimes.com] won’t. Here are some popular operators:

Search for an exact match: Enter a word or phrase inside quotes. For example, [tallest building].

Search for a specific site: Enter site: in front of a site or domain. For example, [site:youtube.com cat videos].

Exclude words from your search: Enter - in front of a word that you want to leave out. For example, [jaguar speed -car].
