not sure 'which' google page you use, or how you are adding site,
but if you use;

  http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en&output=linux&restrict=linux

you can restrict your search to *linux* and *english*.

by using this advanced link, under 'need more tools?', you have another
option of 'search within a site or domain'.

plus, you have a 'date,usage rights,numeric range, and more' option.

in addition usage of ' AND ' and ' OR ' will give you 'boolean logic' for you
search. '&', will also give logic AND. have never tried ' NOR '.

also, note in upper right of advanced page, 'advanced search tips'. drilling
thru this page will give you more info to improve your search.
