Google Search with a Colon: Set up your search with a colon to search specific website domains. For example, if you type site:edu then your search terms or site:gov then your search terms into the Google search bar, the search results will only come from .edu sites such as universities and schools or .gov sites such as U.S. government agencies and institutions.
