How to Limit Your Google Searches to a Specific Type of Site

Google has a nice handout that highlights some fancy tools you can use to perform some advanced searches. One of these is the site: tool. Use this to limit your search to a specific site. For example, click on the search terms below and take a look at the results:

global warming site:memphislibrary.org

I was familiar with this tool before, but I did not know that you could also do this next step. You can broaden your search by limiting it to a specific type of site. For example, click on the search terms below and take a look at the results:

global warming site:edu

This limits your results to only .edu sites.
