All you need to do to use this search feature is type site:example.com before your search string and your results will only show pages from example.com.

You can try this out now by searching for “site:how2notfail.com tips” which should show the tips catagory of this site.

This can be a useful feature to know when a site you are visiting doesn’t allow you to search all of it’s pages, doesn’t search specifically enough, or doesn’t have any search at all.
