Another search tip: Add the site to the search inquiry

Let's say you remember that The New York Times published a killer no-knead bread recipe a few years ago, and you want to find it. You could search online for "no-knead bread" and hope the right recipe comes up, or you could add to your search this phrase "site:nytimes.com" to get results only from the Times.

Any time you add "site:" to a search, it restricts the results to the domain you specify. This works in Google, Bing, Yahoo!, DuckDuckGo, and pretty much any other major search site.
