: How do you use 'site:' to search Google for just the domain without all the other subdomains appearing? When I use the site: operator to search for domains, it returns all the other matched

@Cugini213

Unfortunately this is not possible. That's one of the reason that in the past prevented me to switch from the www hostname to the non-www root domain.

In fact, if the main site domain starts with www, you can filter with

site:www.example.com


However, there is a small trick. Rather than using the site: operator you can try with inurl operator along with a +.

See for example

site:stackoverflow.com blog


vs

blog +[inurl:http://stackoverflow.com]


If you have multiple words to search for you may want to quote them if they are a single word.

"Ruby 2" +[inurl:http://stackoverflow.com]

If the site starts with the subdomain www you can use just:

site:www.google.com

This should only show google.com (followed by a path), and not all the other *.google.com subdomains.
