Google-search – Custom website search through Google

google-search

I often search the Matlab website for answers to Matlab questions, but built in search is terrible, so I use google instead. In order to use Google to search Matlab for answers, I have to type "matlab 'whatever question'." I would like to eliminate having to type matlab before every search through Google. Is there a way to search matlab.com with minimal browser clicks and minimal typing?
