I follow what Ted from MidState PC says.

Use Google.com for a site-specific search

You must tell Google what site with the term
site:
followed by a space

Then you must tell Google what to search for with your search terms

An example:

Select the following and copy it.
Then paste it in a Google.com search

site:talkofthevillages.com shops in Spanish Springs and Sumter Landing

You are asking Google
Search TalkOfTheVillage.com

for
shops AND Spanish AND Springs AND Sumter AND Landing all in the same web page.

Google assumes AND when you just leave a space. Therefore it ignored the "and" in lower case and I entered in the search string.

Google finds 61 pages on talkofthevillages.com with all those words in it.

Another example. Use the same search terms, but add single quotation marks around Spanish Springs and around Sumter Landing.

site:talkofthevillages.com shops in 'Spanish Springs' and 'Sumter Landing'

Google finds 51 ToTV pages that matches. See how it limited your search results by ten pages?

Try it, but if you learn something more on searching, you are duty-bound to come back to this thread and tell us about it.
