 Hi guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosal here. I want to record a video blog today about a really simple methodology a hack if you will that'll really help you to find products in Israel if you are here and you're looking to buy something Okay, so the inspiration for this this is something I've been doing for many many years and there is you know Sometimes we have these little daily hacks or tricks that really help us out And we just kind of assume everybody knows about them So I told a friend about this last night and he did not know about it. So I thought I may as well pass on the tip Second inspiration for this so somebody posted a question in one of the Facebook groups today. They said I Have an air conditioning remote a Mazgan remote if you're in Israel You know what a Mazgan is and he said I'm looking for a how do I find local suppliers? I'm it broke down. I want to buy another one I think it's generally a good idea to have a spare Mazgan remote on hand for this reason So this is actually a perfect example if you will to show how you go about finding it So what this is using this little trick I've been using it's something called Google Advanced Operator So almost everybody or probably realistically everybody who owns a computer is very familiar with typing search queries into Google So there's something called Google Advanced Search operators And those just kind of allow you to take your Google Searching game to the next level and do more advanced things There's documentation online. I'll put a link in the description if you want to know exactly everything you can do There's not a ton of them. They use something called Boolean operators That you can combine and it's a really really good thing to know But the one I'm going to talk about today is called site. It's sit for site colon and What this does is you can combine a search keyword So let's say for the sake of argument the keyword we were searching for is that remote control So if I just type in remote control those two keywords into a Google search I'm going to be getting you know searches from All different websites around the world But there is a way and that's using the site operator to limit the results You're going to guess to a website that has a certain pattern either a specific website So if I wanted to do remote control site Daniel calm that search would call up only Only pages on Daniel calm for remote control now. How does this relate to searching for stuff in Israel? So is ready websites one there's a couple of ways you can search for products in Israel one of them is Just you know typing into Google in Hebrew you'll probably find Israeli results another one is Clicking on the shopping tab that shows up when you type a product Into Google and you can click on a button that'll resist that'll reduce the results to Israel If you search for it another you can also look on a website called zap zap dot co dot a now What zap is? It's a Comparison marketplace and it's going to link off to Israeli website So if I put in let's take it because I'm big into cameras and video stuff if I put in the product name of A camera I want to buy or a webcam, and I want to see what prices I can get in Israel I could either just go on to zap dot co dot ill or type in let's say Canon Vixia hf r 800 and then put in zap and then I'd get the if there is a page on zap for that product I'd get it in Google and then I can look at the different prices in the different stores I can see who's got the best price. I can see what price different Etc. Etc. So that's how a zap works really useful website to bookmark if you're living in Israel But let me just jump back to the to the kind of workaround hack, which is the site trick. So yeah, so Israeli websites Especially commerce stores tend to have Israeli domain names. Now, that's the thing that comes after the domain name So for instance dot com everybody's familiar with calm in tech jargon That's called a tld or a top level domain the official tld for Israel is dot co Dot israeli say dot code neku dot co neku that ill Typically, but there's also different ones. There's dot gov dot ill, which is used by government websites There's org dot i l which is used. It's the Israeli equivalent of a dot org. There's dot muni dot ill There's dot edu dot ill. There's different ones. So if you do site Dot co dot ill after your search term, you're going to get results for a product That is that is going to appear on every dot co dot ill What I actually recommend doing is site dot i l and the reason that is better is because you're going to get results from Dot co dot ill dot org dot ill in other words any website that has an Israeli domain It's going to return whereas if you just do site Co dot ill you're only going to get results from dot co dot ill websites But that search keyword will miss out on if the websites happens to be dot org dot ill, etc So this little trick, let's just take my remote control Which I have here just to use an example if I put this into Google and then append after that site ill I'll only guess Product listings from Israel and I found this a really really useful Hack if you will if I'm looking to buy something and I want to narrow the results down to just Israeli stores You can use this and you'll get results only from within Israel speaking about good resources for Israel I had a conversation earlier in the week with Aaron who runs alia money tips calm if you're looking for financial advice in Israel I am not the person to go to in under absolutely any circumstance But I really really believe I put these videos up on YouTube explaining little things I want to pass on and I do so because I truly believe that As a community of immigrants in Israel, we are stronger together than we are a part It's not we're not in competition with one another We're all helping one another out and we're also all helping or can help the next generation of Immigrants Olim Khadashim to Israel out. So I was very impressed with this website. He's a financial wizard So if you're looking for, you know Financial related advice in English check out alia money tips calm. He's got a couple of Little things I've been able to contribute on YouTube about converting Using Google sheets to convert for salaries between dollars and shackles Aaron kindly added that to his resource, which is how he got in touch, but it's a really good website So I definitely check that out if you're looking for more resources on how to have a successful alia experience in Israel Hope this video was of use to somebody until next time.
