Is there a way to search for specific words on a site?

Submitted ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨NutinButNet@hilariouschaos.com⁩ to ⁨[deleted]⁩

I was looking at a car on a local dealership’s website last night and saw that there was a mention of “2 days” or “250 miles” and you could return a car that you bought from them. I came back to the website this morning and I’m not seeing that anymore. I’m not 100% positive where I saw it, but I know the general area and not seeing it there anymore. It seemed to be under the car’s description for each car they had in their inventory.

I used site:dealershipdomain.com in Google to search for “2 days” and “250” and it finds results but not finding this wording specifically on the pages listed in the search results.

Is there another way to search for this on a specific site? Am I doing that incorrectly?

Hold CTRL and press “f” and it brings up a search box to find text on the page

So go to the pages and do that

  For any that don’t already know, this is a universal shortcut, and works across all kinds of different programs.
  
  CTRL+F = Find

    Not sure what you’re trying to say, it works in web browsers and pretty much everything

Try quoting the search term: site:example.com “2 days”

You can try looking if the site changed at archive.org.

But yeah, as givesomefucks said, what you asked for is CTRL-f.

  Surprised to see there were some archived versions from a few months ago for this but the site seemed to have been broken by archiving though I was able to copy and paste it out and see more but still nothing.
  
  Thanks for the suggestion!

You can Google “Site:<URL> <search term>” to have Google search the site specifically for that term

Not 100% on this, but you might need to include the “www.” part, rather than just the domain. Possibly not, but worth a try.

I bought mine with “1000km or 1 month” offer!

  That’s pretty awesome! That had some options like that for sale.
  
  This specific listing says that this is at no additional cost to the buyer. They give you 250 miles or 2 days to rethink the deal that was made and it extends to everyone. Not as good as yours but still good since the law doesn’t require it here.
