Using Extensions to Search Online

In Google, enter a keyword, then site:.extension into the search bar. The extensions used below take you to mostly academic/university websites (note that not all .edu sites are truly academic):

e.g. astrolabe invention site:.ac.uk
e.g. islamic inventions site:.mcgill.ca
e.g.”tin glazing” invention site:.edu

Use this same technique to find resources from the perspective of specific countries:

From universities in China:
e.g. Zhang Zeduan site:edu.cn

From Chinese government websites:
e.g. Huizong song emperor site:gov.cn
