Search Tips: Specific words, when used before a colon, act as commands to filter results. The coming lessons will teach you the most popular operators. You can use the site: operator within images and news results. You can use the site: operator with or without the period before the top-level domain extension, so [site:edu] is the same as [site:.edu]. When using the site: operator at the website level, you must use the period between the parts of the web address: [site:ucla.edu]. You can use operators at any point in a query. [Jefferson site:archives.gov] is the same as [site:archives.gov jefferson].
