Turn Google into a specific search engine for any website using just your keyboard’s Tab button. This works in Edge and Chrome. 

• Begin typing the address of the site you’d like to search. Google will automatically complete the URL if you’ve visited it in the past; otherwise, type out the entire URL (e.g., 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. Voila!

For Safari and Firefox, 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 great tech tips.
