Quick tip of the day

Want to be a search ninja? Turn Google into a specific search engine for any website using just the tab button on your keyboard.

  • 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 recently. Otherwise, type out the entire URL.
  • Don’t hit enter. Instead, press one of your tab keys.
  • 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, 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.
