Have you noticed lately that some of your Google searches have steered you wrong? There's a reason for that. Spammers are using artificial-intelligence tools to create an ocean of content, and Google's algorithms are ranking some of those robot-generated pages ahead of the information you actually need.

In a Google search, type site: followed by the domain and extension, like site:lifewire.com. Then, include your search, and press Enter. To search by domain extension, type site: followed by the extension, like site:. gov followed by your search, and press Enter.

If you would like to see a history of the pages you've visited, choose "Your data in Search" in the Settings Menu. This will bring you to your "Search History" Page in Google. You (and Google) are the only ones who can view this page. It's useful for finding sites you've visited but can't remember.
