Google Advanced Search
Advanced Search is a Google interface that lets you have more control over your search results. It functions similar to a database where you can identify words you absolutely want to include in your search and words you do not want to be included in your search. Additionally, you can identify specific domains or websites to search for example: .gov or forbes.com (any domain or specific website will work)
