Re: [LM_NET] Target: Narrowing sites

["drmichaelbell@virtuallrc.com" <drmichaelbell@VIRTUALLRC.COM>]

Minta,

This is easily done.  In most, but not all search engines, simply type site:edu .
Then, enter a space and then your search terms. This works well in Clusty. You'll 
pull up only
web sites ending in .edu. Likewise, site:gov will search only that domain. Google 
has a number of these advanced search operators.  They can be found at : 
http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/operators.html.
