It is possible to do a
Google search and restrict the results to a single domain by using the
Advanced Search form. You can also use the regular search form with syntax like:
search term(s) site:siteName.com
where
siteName.com is the site you want to search. Google will show you search results from just that one site. For example:
Search for "football" at umich.edu.
As of the time of this writing, the Advanced Search form doesn't seem to support searching multiple specified domains instead of just a single one; adding a space between the domains entered on the "Search within a site or domain" field doesn't work (Google automatically removes any spaces before performing the search). Using one of the characters
, ; : in the field as a delimiter doesn't work, either.
However, you can do a multiple domain search by using syntax like this in the regular search form:
search term(s) site:siteName1.com OR site:siteName2.com
where
siteName1.com and
siteName2.com are the sites that you want to search. For example:
Search for "football" at umich.edu and msu.edu.
