Refine Google Search with URL Endings

One of many ways to increase search accuracy and to save you valuable time is the "site:" keyword (with Google Search).  The keyword is interpreted by the search engine to restrict results of any other ending other than the one following the "site:" keyword. If you know you are looking for a site regarding educational material you may want to use "site: " with ".edu" to focus your results to websites ending in edu.

  Specify Site Endings with "site:" [URL ending]

By typing site: .edu you are only searching sites with the ending .edu. Other common endings to try with the "site:" keyword are

 ~ .com ~ .net ~ .gov ~ .org

Examples!

A.   I will search for computer tips strictly from .net sites.

I type " computer tips site: .net" into the search box and press [Enter].

B.   I will search for biology help only from educational sites

I type " biology help site: .edu" into the search box and press [Enter].
