Google offers search within search

Imagine searching inside Wikipedia or Amazon.com, but on the Google search site. Google's got a test going of a way to search inside different sites from within a Google Web search results page. If you type in "amazon," "wikipedia" or "new york times" on Google, it brings up the relevant result at the top and immediately underneath is a second search box. If you type a keyword in that secondary search box it will return results from within that site.

works in Firefox, not Safari

It works here on Mac OS X 10.5.2 using Firefox 2.0.0.12 but <br />NOT using Safari 3.0.4 (5523.15).<br /><br />Note though that the only thing this "shortcut" does is allow you <br />to do in 2 steps, what you can already do in 1 step. Google just <br />uses the results of your secondary search to contruct its <br />standard "site-specific search string". For example, if you use <br />the method reported above to search Wikipedia for "uvic law", you can accomplish the same thing in 1 step by just typing in:<br /><br />uvic law site:wikipedia.org

main-search-term site:name-of-site

As mentioned above, you can accomplish the same thing in only <br />1 step but just typing in your actual search term followed by <br />"search-words site:name.of.site.to.search.on".<br /><br />This is standard behaviour for Google and works on any site. It <br />also works on all browsers. For example, try:<br /><br />tim horton's site:haligonian.com<br /><br />Still, the sub-search box is a neat feature for those who don't <br />know or don't remember Google's standard site-specific search <br />syntax.
