DUCKDUCKGO SEARCH
Restrict search results to just one website
One of the oldest tricks on Google, DuckDuckGo and other search engines is to restrict results to just one site by typing site: followed by the URL and then a keyword. For example, type site:wikipedia.org D-Day and it’ll deliver results only from Wikipedia.
DuckDuckGo has now added another option that requires less typing. Search as normal (at https://duckduckgo.com), then click the three horizontal dots at the top right of a result. Now click ‘Only include results for this site’ ( 1 in our screenshot below) and the page will refresh to remove results from all other sites. Click the grey ‘Clear Filter’ button to show all results again.
There’s also an option to remove that site from search results 2 . Note that the three dots don’t appear next to adverts – as you can see in our screenshot which includes the ad at the top 3 . Also, clicking ‘Only include results for this site’ doesn’t remove ads from the page that appears.
