Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to search for a specific term in only part of the site.  
In google sitesearch I achieved this by using the site: syntax.  
So looking for information on food for a specific species of bird on my animal site would be  
site:[https://mysite.nl/animals/birds/](https://mysite.nl/animals/birds/) food

Thanks in advance!

Hi Mirthe,

First, thanks for your patience, and great question! At this time there isn’t GSS like **site:** syntax functionality within Swiftype, but this type of result filtering/segmentation could be achieved by making use of our custom meta tags and field filtering on the front end of your SERP.

We’ve some additional information in the following doc page:

I hope this helps!
