[Web4lib] Google site search -- search a directory???

[David P. Moore]

The way I got around this was to create a second domain for my library's
web address. Our web address is www.uah.edu/library. To get the Google
site search tool to recognize it, I had  an alias created: lib.uah.edu.
And I use that address for this purpose.

instead of the whole server, but was not able to do it.  Was anybody
able to make it work that way?  Thanks.  -Sue

You'd have to mod it to run a search but add the search modifier
inurl:"scc.losrios.edu/~library/"  instead of a site: modifer.
