simple google tip: search in one language only

http://img323.imageshack.us/img323/6633/googletip8xu.jpgSince google has just decided to switch off the "search only in German websites" option from their main search, and I needed to run such a search, I found an easy way to do it. The trick is to use site:*.de after typing the query string. This should search all websites that end in .de; therefore most German websites around. Maybe this tip exists already burried somewhere on some usage tips webpage, or maybe it works via some HTML manipulation; but it was neat to discover it; and see that such a thing works.
