However, this custom search is useful:\n\n* If you want to avoid spammy search results\n* When searching for a rarely used term such as a model number - such searches often give hits which mention merely Linux in a sidebar or footer etc, but where the page itself is are not actually about Linux.\n\nBy narrowing the search down to only Linux-specific websites, these problems are avoided.\n\n{{Page data\n| license = CC-BY-SA-3.0\n| description = Linux Search finds Linux-only resources.
