Limit a Google Search to a Specific Domain

Searching within selected domains is a useful way to limit your online searching to websites you trust.  In Google, enter site:. and then the domain immediately after.
site:.ac.nz

Link to an article with more information about searching within a domain and here are some NZ examples.

Domain Description
.co.nz commercial NZ websites including NZ news sites
.ac.nz NZ educational websites
edu  Educational in (some) other countries

Add as many domain searches as you like and enter OR in caps between each one. For example, this search would retrieve results with the word disinformation (or similar) from NZ organisation, government and company/corporation websites.
