2nd paragraph under "Searching Within Sites and Domains" header

The paragraph reads: "Unlike the previous operators, the site syntax has two parts.
First you have to attach a site name or domain name to site: And second, you have to
include the keywords or phrases you want to search for." This is incorrect. The site
syntax does not require any additional parameters. If you were to search for
"site:google.com", for example, Google would return every indexed page for that site.
You only need to add additional keywords if you wish to narrow down your search,
which is true with any syntax or any form of search in general.
