How to use site: to initiate a search with Keymate that crawls a specific site location for information

With Keymate, you can search the web using Google official API. But what if you want to search information from a specific site? There are two different ways that we will explore below:

Searching the contents of a specific URL

If you want to find information from a specific URL you can use prompting to ask Keymate to search a website and find specific information and then provide it to you.

Keymate will then go to the page, pull all the information off the page and summarize it based on your prompt. If it doesn't find the information it will even try to go to different pages to find the information.

In the example below it tried finding information across three different pages but did not find anything relevant.

Here is the example for "Search https://blog.samaltman.com/ and find tips for raising a seed round"

But what if we wanted to see if there is anything on Sam Altman's blog about raising a seed round?

Powering your site specific search with the "site:" parameter

Thanks to the special search parameter "Site:", you can use Google to search the entire index of a specific site and surface those results to Keymate. This will allow you to access all the information that is relevant to your query no matter where it is found on the site.

Let's try the example above again but this time inserting "site:" before the URL.

Here is the prompt: "search site:https://blog.samaltman.com/ and find information about raising a seed round"

This time, the results look for all the locations on SA's blog where raising a seed round is mentioned and gives you a summary of what it found. This time it did find one article that Sam wrote and gives you a great summary of the article.

You can take a look at the results here.

Hope this helps you on your Keymate journey! Happy searching!
