Google Searching Tricks



A very useful feature in Google is the "site" search modifier. Using the word "site" allows you to specify a specific site or domain to perform a search.

For example, if I wanted to find a copy of the 2017-2018 Academic Calendar for Southwestern College, I could type the following into a Google search:

site:swccd.edu academic calendar 

The number one item on the results list is the PDF of the 2017-2018 Academic Calendar.

Enjoy!
