# Peruse a Public Website for Any Keyword With Google

With Advanced Google Searching you may peruse and search through any public website for almost any keyword. This can help you discover if a blog you like covered your favorite topic or research when and how a name was written on post or pages of a website.

Advanced Google Search can be executed with help of its website GUI, but you may also create custom queries and place them in the search box.

## Custom Google Queries Examples

This query helps you discover any mention of Debian on the HackADay website. HackADay.com is a website dedicated to electronics and computer hardware and Debian is an Unix-like Operating System. With this query I discovered many interesting posts that can help me learn about how Debian works with Hardware. I can also repeat this search with other keywords like FreeBSD or NetBSD.

### Search within Hackaday.com for the name ‘Richard Stallman’
