Search Within Search
March 11, 2008
I spotted a strange thing on Google yesterday so hopped over to the official Google blog to research my findings and I can confirm that you can now search within a search!
Open up Google and search ‘NASA’. You will be presented with the listing and underneath nestles a brand new search box!
In reality this is only a shortcut to what you can easily achieve any way making use of the - keyword site:nasa.gov - parameter but for the millions of us who don’t know how to use advanced search correctly, this heralds a step in the right direction.
This only seems to occur for some of the really big sites at present. We serve a number of huge UK sites at the moment but alas it seems that this latest change is US only. If anyone finds a UK site with the added search box, please let me know.
Well done Google! This is (for once) a truly useful addition to the SERPS.
