You've all known for a long time how to search the Internet. You go to a search engine - whether it's Google, Bing or Qwant – and you type in a word or phrase depending on what you want to find. You then very quickly get a list of results that can sometimes reach thousands or even millions of potential sites to visit.
In general, the results considered most relevant appear first (below sponsored content) and the page you are really looking for may very well be hidden far, far away in the results... In fact, few people browse beyond the first page.
Search a website from Google
So if you know the site you are looking for something on and you feel that its internal search engine is not very powerful (which is often the case), you can use the power search engines to help you!
In fact, you just have to enter the keyword(s) you are looking for, add “site:SiteURL” and launch the search as you usually do.
For example, if you want to search for articles that talk about subtitles on Byothe.fr, you would enter “ subtitles site:byothe.fr » into the search bar of the search engine and you would get the following results:
Ainsi, le search only shows you results relating to the site that interests you!
A little tip, you can also do research on types of domain name extensions… For example, if you want to come across sites that are more French-speaking, you can do the following search: “ subtitles site:*.fr". Put only the extension, without forgetting the little star (*) in front of the point!
And there you have it, I hope that this tip very simple will help you search a website better and save you valuable time!
