- site:support.apple.com – Only Apple's support documents with instructions and assistance are taken into account (only German results are included site:support.apple.com/en-us/)
- site:developer.apple.com – Only subpages that are in Apple's developer section of the website will be considered
- site:communities.apple.com - Thanks to this addition to your search query, the search engine will only show you results from Apple's community area (only German results are included site:communities.apple.com/en/)
- site:apps.apple.com - With this you search specifically for apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Co. (only German results are included site:apps.apple.com/en/)
- site:play.google.com – This add-on for the search engine helps you with the targeted search for Android apps
