Tuesday Quick Tip: Chrome Site Search…
Since I’ve been posting a Biggest Loser recap over on Off Color TV (warning: since it’s off color, you might see some adult-type language and humor), Tuesdays have kind of suffered in terms of posting over here. Therefore, until Biggest Loser is over, I’ll be posting a quick tip that will hopefully show you something new that you can use in your day to day use of technology. I’d like to give a shout out to my friend Brad aka Mr. B, as he had recommended something like this but I couldn’t figure out where to fit it in, but this is a great place for it.
Before beginning the tip portion, if you don’t know what a web browser is, check out this article my friend Patric, aka Mr. Noobie, on various browsers. After you have an idea of what a browser is, come back and finish this tip.
Pretty much the top browser out there is Google Chrome. It is fast, it is minimalistic, and it has extensions. I was fiddling around the other day and discovered a cool little feature that it has. If you type in a web address and then hit the tab key, you can then type in a search term to search for on that particular site.
Unfortunately, it seems to only work on certain sites. I got it to work on Facebook.
Alternatively, you can type you search query followed by a space and then “site:http://yoursite.com” with no quotes around it, to do a similar thing. This works in any browser and from any Google search box.
If you want to try it out, open google.com, and type the following: dropbox site:http://www.thedigitante.com and you will be shown the resulting pages from my site that contain the word “dropbox.”
Got any tips you want to see in a future TQT? What is your most valuable tip you use on a daily basis?
