Quick Useful Google Tip
At work today I was trying to search for sites that use the Atlassian Confluence wiki software. The product prints their name at the bottom of wiki pages so I figured I would be able to get a decent amount of results from simply typing atlassian confluence into Google. However, since that is verbatim the name of the company and product, I was getting a lot of hits from the Atlassian.com website.
I then decided I needed a way to not show any atlassian.com website. I don't consider myself a Google query guru, but I know about the site: parameter where you can type site:disney.com or something to search only that site. So I thought, what if I put the minus in front of that and maybe it would search everywhere but that site.
Sure enough, it worked! Check it out:
