Do you need New Zealand government documents on a particular topic? Want to see what a particular organisation says about something? Looking for information on wine-making in Azerbaijan (yes really, thanks to the student who came in with this query)?<\/p>\n

Try a site or domain search in Google. You put in the part of the url that relates to the site or domain you are interested in.<\/p>\n

It’s available in Google’s Advanced Search:
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Site\/domain<\/a><\/p>\n

Or you can just type it in using the usual search box. After your search words, type site:then the relevant part of the url<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n

The part of the url you put in can be as specific as a website (.massey.ac.nz), as broad as a country (.az), or anything in between (.govt.nz).
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

So for example:<\/p>\n

cycling site:massey.ac.nz<\/a><\/p>\n

cycling site:.govt.nz<\/a><\/p>\n

wine site:.az<\/a><\/p>\n

And have a look at the other options in the Advanced Search (in Google there’s a link at the bottom of search results, and from the cog at the top right). After a particular language, file type, date range, weight(?!)… it’s all there, and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
