YSK: Googling for terms on all lemmy domains

DampCanary@lemmy.world to You Should Know@lemmy.world – 192 points –

Why YSK: Searching topcs on reddit was simple matter of entering desired term and prepending or appending keyword reddit. With lemmy's decentralised structure finding particular topic without knowing to which, or rather if even there is community dealing with such topic(s) can be a headache inducing hurdle. So appending simple:

site: lemmy.*

site:lemmy.*

to Your google search feature can ease up search.

P.S.

to avoid certain domains You can use e.g.:

-site: beehaw.org

-site:beehaw.org

Only downside is you won't find stuff from domains without lemmy in them, e.g. feddit.de

There's a silver lining here. It will prompt people to search from their instance instead of giving more traffic to Google.

Wouldn't the search results be even more limited in that case, though?
