How do you say? You have memorized the procedure but you don't know yet how to search for a word on a site with google? I get it: you want to do a search using Google to see how many matches there are on a particular site for the word you are interested in.
In this case, you just need to use the"site" operator, followed by the site address. The term to search is then put between quotation marks, before or after the "site" operator and the site address, to get with a exact match.
Let's take a practical example: if you want to find exact matches of the term "Computer" su configurehow.com, you need to type in Google “computer” website:configurehow.com and press Submit.
You can also do a search without quotes (eg. computer site:configurehow.com); the results, however, may be different, as the search engine will also return words similar to computer (and, in the case of multiple terms, also pages in which the terms are not consecutive and placed in the exact order in which they were placed in the search). Simple, isn't it?
