I was looking at a car on a local dealership’s website last night and saw that there was a mention of “2 days” or “250 miles” and you could return a car that you bought from them. I came back to the website this morning and I’m not seeing that anymore. I’m not 100% positive where I saw it, but I know the general area and not seeing it there anymore. It seemed to be under the car’s description for each car they had in their inventory.

I used site:dealershipdomain.com in Google to search for “2 days” and “250” and it finds results but not finding this wording specifically on the pages listed in the search results.

Is there another way to search for this on a specific site? Am I doing that incorrectly?

Edit: thanks for the tips, everyone! Sorry, should have mentioned I was using CTRL + F to search when on the page.

I found one mention of it on another site linking here, and now it makes me wonder if that’s where I saw it.

But either way, kind of found what I was looking for. Thanks for the help, everyone!

Try quoting the search term: site:example.com "2 days"

Hold CTRL and press "f" and it brings up a search box to find text on the page

So go to the pages and do that

For any that don't already know, this is a universal shortcut, and works across all kinds of different programs.

CTRL+f = Find

Not sure what you're trying to say, it works in web browsers and pretty much everything

[-] dyc3@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Ctrl f works on a single page, not the full site

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

So go to the pages and do that

Which is why I said it would have to be done on multiple pages.

I'm unsure what the confusion is...

It's tedious and error prone

it finds results but not finding this wording specifically on the pages listed in the search results.

google is literally sucks now. sometimes it found the word on the site but when i click there, there's none. is it just me or what

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

You can try looking if the site changed at archive.org.

But yeah, as givesomefucks said, what you asked for is CTRL-f.

[-] NutinButNet@hilariouschaos.com 1 points 3 days ago

Surprised to see there were some archived versions from a few months ago for this but the site seemed to have been broken by archiving though I was able to copy and paste it out and see more but still nothing.

Thanks for the suggestion!

You can Google "Site: " to have Google search the site specifically for that term

[-] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Not 100% on this, but you might need to include the "https://www." part, rather than just the domain. Possibly not, but worth a try.

[-] kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I bought mine with "1000km or 1 month" offer!

[-] NutinButNet@hilariouschaos.com 2 points 3 days ago

That’s pretty awesome! That had some options like that for sale.

This specific listing says that this is at no additional cost to the buyer. They give you 250 miles or 2 days to rethink the deal that was made and it extends to everyone. Not as good as yours but still good since the law doesn’t require it here.
