How often do you use a general search engine and what are you searching for?
For me, if it is related to my job, I am usually going straight to the docs, language forums, and sometimes stack overflow. It's only if I am looking up a specific error that I do a general search (although that is getting harder and harder as more words are ignored).
Personally, I rarely search. Music related? Straight to Metal Archives. Tv/Movie related? straight to tmdb.org. General Reference? Wikipedia. Stats/Facts? WolframAlpha.
I'd say I use a general search engine only a few times a week total.

- l72 3y agoWhat are some examples of searches that you do? I guess I am just surprised at how often people search using a general search engine.
- slipperlobster 3y agoNot OC, but I burn through searches trying to chase down stacktrace errors. We're going through a big upgrade off of JDK8, so there's a lot of random queries.
