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

@edit: removed spaces thank You @inquisitor1965@kbin.social

YSK: This doesn’t work in DuckDuckGo because I just independently had the idea to try this a few days ago and returned no results. I didn’t think to try on Google. I believe DuckDuckGo is running on Microsoft Bing so it likely doesn’t work there either

On DuckDuckGo you can use:

!g site: lemmy.*

to be redirected to an anonymous Google search

it's not "an anonymous Google search", just a regular Google search results page. they got rid of encrypted.google years ago.
