For technical queries, its not even close.
Try searching for, say, “what is npm install -D”
Google just throws up results about NPM, completely ignoring the most crucial part of the query, “-D”. ChatGPT shows a precise answer about npm dev dependencies.
- rainbowzootsuit 4y agoA little hard to exactly know your inputs, but it seems like you used the query between the quotes. The "-" excludes the "D" from the search. Wrap it in quotes: npm install "-D" Or without the "-": npm install D Seem to give more relevant results by cursory testing than npm install -D
- spaceman_2020 4y agoThe top most result is just the npm core documentation. The first reference to -D is 658 words down, whereas ChatGPT has a precise answer. It's not just better, it's miles better.
- wruza 4y agoMy top result is a SO page with that exact question. Our mileages wary, I guess.
- wruza 4y agoThis compares different mini languages. -D works as “result not includes D”, at least it worked that way before. Search for “what is npm install D” instead.
