Site Searching in Google

Searching in both of these newspapers can be done at their respective websites FT.com and NYTimes.com. And, one of the best ways to search for relevant content is to employ a Google Site Search.

Using a site search helps you find information related to your topic. 

For example, to search the New York Times, input the phrase site:nytimes.com then leave a space an add in your key terms like this:

site:nytimes.com robotics  In this search you have told Google to only find results from the New York Times, and I also added a date specification limiting results to the period 2015-2022. Look at the top few results, how might they be useful?

To run a similar search in the Financial Times, input the following search phrase:

site:ft.com augmented reality business  Here we are telling Google to get results from the Financial Times only. In this case, the search results are limited to the past year, by clicking on the Tools tab under the Google search bar, then clicking Any time, and selecting Past year from the dropdown list.
