To any readers. I highly suggest you try DuckDuckGo, especially for tech related/documentation searches.
The !{language} searches are incredibly powerful. Taking you to the language's documentation repo, and displaying results only there. Which I find hugely help for learning new languages.
I've switched over completely for my day to day searches. Google offers next to nothing I can't get with DuckDuckGo.
- ufo 12y ago"[language] bla bla !so" is also pretty neat. It searches Stackoverflow and filters by language tag.
- ausjke 12y agoI use it occasionally, what does !{language} search mean?
- tomclancy 12y agoGoogle it
- duggieawesome 12y agoSay you want to refer to the JavaScript docs, you can type: "!javascript function" and it will take you immediately to the documentation.
- ausjke 12y agoThanks. I was confused by language for various countries...
- christiangenco 12y agoThis works sporadically for me, and the autocomplete text is completely wrong: http://i.imgur.com/v3skzTX.png http://i.imgur.com/v3skzTX.png That search, "!ruby string", also redirects to... a google search?
- valarauca1 12y agoLuckily DuckDuckGo is partially open, you can help contribute fixes :)
- droope 12y agoDuck duck go does not share search data with any open search database e.g. YaCy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YaCy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YaCy It'd be pretty great if they did!
- polymatter 12y ago!java means limit search to Java documentation !scala means limit search to Scala documentation !golang means limit search to Go documentation !cpp means limit search to C++ documentation etc. see (https://duckduckgo.com/bang.html https://duckduckgo.com/bang.html) for more.
