This wikiHow teaches you how to search for results on a specific website using Google. You can use this feature to view a list of search results that only use the website in question, or—if you use Google Chrome—you can search directly on some sites that have built-in search capabilities.
Things You Should Know
- Go to Google and type Type site: into the search bar. Type in the website's address without the www prefix. Press space and enter your search terms.
- Using the Chrome browser, type the website you want to search into the address bar. When you see the "Press Tab to search", hit Tab ↹. Enter your search terms.
- For both methods, press ↵ Enter after you've entered your search terms. Your search results will appear.

3
Indicate that you want to search a specific site. Type site: into the search bar.[1]
4
Type in your site's address without the "www" part. This should go immediately after the site: tag with no space in between.
- For example: to search Facebook, you would type site:facebook.com.
5
Press the spacebar. Doing so places a space between your website's address and what you'll type next.
6
Enter a search term or phrase.[2] This should be whatever you want to search for within the site.
- For example: to search Facebook for "puppies for sale", your whole search phrase would read site:facebook.com puppies for sale.
7
Press ↵ Enter. Doing so will run your search; when the search results page loads, you should see only results for items that both match your search and are on the website you specified.

1
Open
Google Chrome. Click or double-click the Chrome app icon, which resembles a red, yellow, green, and blue sphere.2
Click the address bar. It's the text box at the top of the browser window.
- If there's any text in the address bar, remove it before proceeding.
3
Type in a website's address. This should be the address on which you want to search. Make sure you include the website's "www" section here.
- For example, to search Facebook, you would type in www.facebook.com.
4
Look the "Press Tab to search" message. In the far-right side of the address bar, you should see a message encouraging you to press the Tab ↹ key to search your site.
- If you don't see this message, you can't search the site from within the Google Chrome address bar. You can still use Google to search within a site.
5
Press the Tab ↹ key. If you see the "Press Tab to search" message, pressing the Tab ↹ key will open a search bar in which to search your specified website.
6
Type in your search term or phrase. This should be whatever you want to search the website for.
7
Press ↵ Enter. Doing so will open the search for your term or phrase within the specified website, at which point you can review the search results as needed.
