I have already hosted my website, and I want to search it from Google.
How can I search?
Is there any need to upload my website to Google?
Yes, at least webmaster submission. Also, read more about the webmaster tool.
Add the proper search term to your searched words:
site:www.your-website.com searchword
You can use Google Webmaster tools for this purpose. Add your website there and you can get very valuable information about the state of your website on Google.
For faster inclusion of all pages of your website on Google database, you can create a sitemap.xml file (if you do not know how you can create it online here) and add it to Google webmaster tools.
You also can see on the Google page, placing the command "site:" before the url of your website in the search field, to view which pages are already indexed.

I have an issue with the way my website is being searched on google.
Lets say my website is called johnsmiths.com but the actual business name is John Smiths Sweets.
When I search google for the full business name John Smiths Sweets, rather than just searching for the business, it is showing a link for the sweet section page on the website. Almost as if it is finding johnsmiths.com then adding sweets on to the search.
How do i get it so when someone searches for the full business name, it displays the home page link?
The search is working fine on google, but bing does not display it correctly.
If you haven't already done so:
I would start by setting up a Google My Business account for your business and linking this account to your website.
Then open a Google Webmaster account and add your website
Create an xml sitemap and add this to you Google Webmaster account (property > crawl > sitemaps > add sitemap)
You may need to do additional work but the above will take care of the essentials first.
Good luck!
this question has been asked in 2010 (Does joomla have search for content?), but without success. Any update since?
I'm trying to find a search feature that searches all contents,
including articles, links, posts, etc. in Joomla. Where is it located?
I am talking about search feature in administration page, not home
page. I want to be able to figure out where the content is coming from
and its location.
ps: the "smart search content" plugin included in the core of joomla is very limited in backend: it only search in articles title, and worst, it skips some articles in front-end yet plugin enable, indexer done, all publish inside indexer.
backup solution :
set a "smart search module" in the frontend (for register user so it won't bother) it will retrieve any content field from the DB
Is it possible to search Google (or elsewhere) to find which sites link to a particular URL? For example, find the sites that link to www.apple.com/osx/whatever.pdf ?
If this is for your own website, you can take a look at Google Analytics or a similar analytics/conversion tracking.
Is it possible to add an out-of-the-box Bing site search box to my SharePoint extranet and have it actually work? My mind says no, since it can't possibly index my pages, right? Just wanted to know your thoughts.
You can add bing search box and you would get results as well but only pages from your site which are allowed for anonymous access will be crawled by Bing. My question to you is this when share point already provides Such a wonderful search engine why do you need anything else for crawling of your internal content.

I haven't seen any search capabilities directly in the administration console for Joomla.
The standard search extension you add to the actual site should give you this information though.
