Likewise. I will often use the site: operator in Google searches if I think it will lead to more interesting results, although a lot of the time, those results will pop up high in the SERP even without the qualifier.
Wikipedia generally takes care of itself. However, I find the qualifier is sometimes useful for StackOverflow and HN. E.g., if it's programming, then SO. If it's a more general industry or platform question, then archived HN discussions will likely be interesting and lead to other links.
However, I do use Twitter search from time to time. Due to its real time nature, Twitter search gives you a different view. It's useful for watching breaking news, even though the short URLs will sometimes annoyingly lead to the same articles posted over and over.
