Turn Google into a specific search engine for any website using just the tab button on your computer.

• Begin typing the address of the site you’d like to search, and Google will automatically complete the URL for you if you’ve visited it in the past. Otherwise, write out the entire URL. For example, you might type Komando.com.
• Don’t hit enter. Instead, press the tab key.
  
• The URL will convert to a search engine for that particular website.
• Now, type in your search term and hit enter.

This works in Edge and Chrome. For Safari and Firefox, you can use this trick: Enter your search term, along with “site:” followed by the website you want to search. For example, you might put in “tech tips site:komando.com” to search my website for even more tech tips.
