Ask HN: Is Google Site Search Broken?

1 points by CM30 4d ago ↗ HN

I'm not sure if there's something I'm missing here, but it feels like sometimes, I'll search a particular site in Google with the 'site:' operator, only to get a page of random results that aren't from the site in question.

Is this something anyone else is experiencing? Because I hear a lot about other operators not working properly, but not this one. Did Google just break it somehow?

I wouldn't know as I haven't used Google in years, but if you share a specific example and maybe your country/region it might be more helpful for others to share their experience.

I've occasionally experienced this with sites that may not have any results. But it usually works. I ran a few of those searches today too.
