Using the Google site search to search Government sources in other countries.

Although this might change in the future, as of this writing, researchers can still use the Google "site" search to limit their search to government websites.

Sample searches:

  • prisons and site:.government.se
  • police and site:.regjeringen.no
  • policing and site:.bundesregierung.de

Note: I did some preliminary searching to identify the government urls. In addition, it's possible that the search results will be different, or better, if a search is done in the language of the country you are searching.
