Google WebSite Search • In most cases all letters and punctuation in the search box must be matched somewhere in the website for the Google Site Search to find a match. Unlike Ctrl-F, Google Site Search will not find whole words from parts of words. Google WebSite Search finds whole words only. But Google will find two words which are separated by other words in the website. Google responds to some synonyms, but, for example, may not respond to a singular word if the website only has its plural. For the most complete search, use singular and plural forms of a word, and variants of a word, each word(-set) separated from the next alternate by a capitalized
" OR " (use no quotes in the search box). Google WebSite Search searches the whole website. Crtl-F searches only the webpage that is open.
