Making the Most of a Google
Search!

Google Advanced Search
On the Google web
page, look for the
advanced search
option by clicking
Settings in the bottom
right.

Google Advanced Search
Enter your search
terms at top.
Look for the Site or
Domain box.
Enter either:
.gov
.edu (or)
.org
Into this box.

Google Advanced Search
After performing a
search, notice that all
of the results come
from a particular type
of web page.
(In this case, all are
from a government
web page.)

Domains:
.com = commercial
.gov = government
.org = organization
.edu = educational institution
Selecting a particular domain as you search can
sometimes result in higher quality, more appropriate
web sites!

Google Advanced Search
You can do this
without using the
Advanced Search page,
simply by typing your
search like this!

Google Advanced Search
However, the advanced
search offers many more
options beyond just
domain searching! Take
advantage of these options
to perform a great search!

Google Advanced Search
Also take
advantage of
options that
appear in your
search results that
allow you to
narrow your
choices to by date,
location, type of
result (image),
and much more!
