Domain searching

One of the most powerful search functions is Google’s site search. You can limit your search to just information from a specific domain or website using the Google command site:. For example, you can search for Canadian government website and content by searching site:. gc.ca or British Columbian government content by searching site:.gov.bc.ca
You can also combine phrases while using site:, as shown on the right. Note that the Boolean Operator 'AND' is implied in the search, meaning Google will look for pages that are in the specified web site containing both of the search phrases.
