Did you know?…
You can search for something on a website or blog even if that site doesn’t have a Search Box.
Here’s how…
If a web site doesn’t have a Search Box, yet you wish to search that site for a phrase, word, or idea, simply do this:
Go to your favorite Search Engine and in the entire Search Box type this:
1. The word or phrase (use quotes for phrases)
followed by…
2. A single space
followed by…
3. The word: site
followed by…
4. A colon
followed by…
5. The entire URL of the website
Like this… “care packages” site://thefuntimesguide.com
[NOTE: There is no space between the colon and the URL]
Finally, click ENTER in Google, sit back & watch the magic!
You’ll get a list of results showing only those articles on that particular website that reference that word or phrase.
Pretty cool, huh?
I got my first computer in 1986 and immediately started writing, saving documents, and organizing my entire life on it. Thus began my love affair with gadgets and all things tech. I built my first website in 1998 in old-school HTML code — before websites were "a thing". Blogs weren't invented yet. It was the same year that Google was born. My husband and I created TheFunTimesGuide.com in 2004 — before YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, and Mashable were launched. That was the year Facebook started and 'blog' was the Word of the Year according Merriam-Webster. Ever since then, anytime a new electronic gadget hits the market… I have to have it. (My husband's impulsive nature to try out every new tech gadget invented is even worse than mine!) When I'm not trying out fun new tech gadgets, you'll find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).
