Gee, I hardly ever have trouble finding what I'm looking for. I guess topics vary in search ease! And I'm sure this will become easier with experience, as you learn the capabilities/commands/methods/attributes of the languages & libraries. What are some specific examples?
I made a startpage that makes searching much easier and faster. There's a text entry field, then buttons for: 5 other search engines, and for Google: search, search in previous year, verbatim, image, large image, video, >20 mins video, Google books, Google scholar, then buttons for wikipedia, LaTeX, IMDb etc (that add those words to a google search) - i.e. add buttons for your most-used search terms. Also I have buttons for searching within youtube and LibGen. Then after unsuccessfully searching, just go Back to the startpage with the search terms still there. Before that I used to have to type what I was searching for multiple times, e.g. searching for obscure books/movies. For JS you could have 1-button searching within your favourite docs/sites. Or just hyperlinks to online manuals. There's a lot of buttons, but colour-coded and grouped it's not confusing - grey = add words to text field (also "clear field", "put quotes around", "filetype:pdf" etc), blue = google search e.g wikipedia, image; red = youtube searches, yellow = LibGen searches, white = video/book sites, black = torrent sites. For the sites with just one search button I have their logo as the button, etc. Good luck! (p.s. Also I learnt a lot about JS & CSS making the startpage!)
