What is a site operator and what can it do?

A site search is a focused search that only looks at a specific website or type of website. This type of search can be very useful when you are trying to find information from a specific domain (Harvard, Amazon, etc...), type of website (.edu, .gov, etc...), or to search for information on a specific website (www.mass.gov, www.apa.org, etc...).

How to Use the Site Operator to Search a Website (such as NASA)

Using the site operator in google you can search the contents of one specific website for information.  In this project it would be useful to be able to search the NASA website for information on space technology.  You will need to know the website URL for NASA and the key words you want to use in your search:

NASA’s URL is:  nasa.gov

Try these results for [site:nasa.gov space technology
