Googling is one of the most important skills for every developer.
Let me show you how to get better at Googling.
Let's start!
1 . Use quotes to ...

In addition,
You can use
|in place ofOR. e.gJavaScript | HTMLThe
extis also a substitute forfiletypeLimit search to a domain e.g
.com,.edu,.orge.t.cYou can go really weird by combining operators and search terms that will perform a pinpoint search.
JavaScript|HTML|CSS filetype:pdf -"framework" site:eduWhen I have the time, I'll write a more comprehensive post about Google searching.
|isORoperationThanks for the correction. I updated my comment.
Will try to make a good Anki deck with all these tips, make it easy to everyone to study this.
Keep in mind that the
-for exclusion can really bite you when you look for linux commands including flags (eg.ls -a) because you'll end up with all the pages that do NOT contain the flag you were looking for... 😂 A personal facepalm moment.You can work around it and search for
"ls -la". :DThat's true. I just didn't realize that when it happened the first time around. After things became clear, I was laughing like a maniac XD

When you are setting up a new site, beware of any public accessible file that could be index by google.
In the past, that is how hackers are able to retrieve password files.
The google search is a double edge sword.
I love the currency calculations tool as well with the time calculations. For example 100 USD to EUR and it will return you the valid value with latest exchange rate.
For time calculations I love to use it e.g. like this: '(1 hour 25 minutes + 33 minutes - 8 minutes) = '. Keep in mind that you need provide the "=" sign to make it work. It's also useful while converting the units eg '3 hours 44 minutes to minutes' or '8 inches to cm'
Switch to a privacy search engine instead.
oooh.... TBF, I did already know about many of these, but while reading this and a few of the comments, I just had the most amazing thought: imagine Google Search with syntax highlighting for the input field...
nothing quite like a little splash of colour for some user feedback while typing a search query, hey? (:
now I just wish I didn't have ideas like this while I was at work.. I have other things to do right now.
Thank you so much!!
Glad you like it. Enjoy!

Using search queries under "quotes" for precise results is the best one and really a pro tip. ✌🏼

It's awesome article but how do you exclude a phrase, it seems I can only exclude one word at a time.
I searched with the keyword:
javascript tutorialtaking note of the phrase:building tutorials with lots of examplesas seen in the image below:Then I excluded it by combining the exclusion sign i.e.
-and exact word matching character i.e. the double quotes which gives us:javascript tutorial -"building tutorials with lots of examples".This produces different results excluding that phrase as seen in the image below:
You should know that in the first search without the exclusion the search result was
1.2 billion, and with the exclusion it's3.2 billion.I hope this helps.
