How to search on a website that doesn't have a search function

⋅ 1 min read ⋅ Development

Table of Contents

Not every website got a search function. If you found an interesting site and want to explore more topics within that site, you can do it with the help of a search engine of your choice.

Search webpages that belong to the specified site

To scope your search result to the specified website, you prefix your search query with site: followed by your website of interest.

site:target website search query

This example will return all posts about "Unit testing" from my site, https://sarunw.com/.

site:sarunw.com unit test
