If you are looking to find web pages that include specific words, this technique will help you to find them quickly. Also, this post will show you if a website or web page contains specific words or not. I will show you 3 easy ways to do it.
Search words on a website using Google
This method is very handy if you want to search words for the entire website. Google will search and find all the different URLs that contain your search terms.

Here is the search technique rule:
{site:url_of_the_website.com} {your search term}
For example, you want to search for “travel news” on “bbc.com.” Then go to Google and type the following query and hit enter:
site:bbc.com travel news
The above search technique will find all the web pages from the BBC website that includes any of those words.
But if you are searching for the exact match of the phrases/words, wrap your keywords within a quote.

{site:url_of_the_website.com} {"your search term"}
Example of finding exact phrases:
site:bbc.com “travel news“
The above tweak will find the exact match of your words.

This command will open a search box on your browser and once you start typing, it will find all the matches.
Find phrases using search bar
Many websites have their own search bar or search form. You can definitely use it to search for words on the website. But all the websites do not have a search bar. And if your targeted website does not have a search bar, then try to search by URL.
Note that all the websites’ search URL does not have the same structure. So you may have to try multiple URL structures to find your desired pages and words.
Find words from URL search
This method becomes handy when you’re searching for a non-indexed page. The Google search techniques will find on the pages that have been indexed. But the URL search techniques will find words & pages that have been posted very recently. And even those pages are not indexed by Google.
For example, you’re searching for the word “Apple”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=apple
https://wordpress.org/search/apple
https://shihabiiuc.com/?s=apple
Note that the above URL search structures may not work for all the websites. If you really got stuck then you can try one by one URL structure.
Above is the example of three main URL search queries. Don’t forget to replace the placeholder “apple” with your desired word(s), and the example URLs.
