Google's Advanced Search

• Use Google’s advanced searches to limit your results to more reliable domains (e.g. .gov and .edu). 

  • Web Search - http://www.google.com/advanced_search  
  • Image Search - http://www.google.com/advanced_image_search

To help you evaluate the sites you find:

• info:  for information about a website. Works best with the homepage address.  info:aclu.org

• related: search for related sites, use the word "related" followed by a colon:  related:api.org

• link: Find out where someone referenced this link on the website:  link:wwf.org

• v-e-r-y important: there is no space after the colon when using these commands; don't need to put in the "http" or the "www"
