Google Search Strategies

Site Search

Some websites have enormous amounts of useful data, but they can be difficult to navigate.  Use Google to search within a specific website, or a specific type of website, using this formula:

"search term" site:*.*

For example,

  • Tallahassee map site:https://www.loc.gov/
  • "fair housing act" site:*.gov

Cited By

Harness the power of Google Scholar to follow an argument forward in time!  First, enter an older citation into the search box at scholar.google.com. Then, use the "cited by" feature to see where that source has been cited.
