As a programmer, the ability to solve problems independently is very important. It turns out that search engines can solve 90 percent of life’s problems, and that’s no exaggeration. Here are some tips for improving search engine productivity for programmers.
1. Select a search tool
- If you can use Google, don’t use Baidu. On Google, you can definitely find the answer you want faster.
2. Accurate search: double quotation marks
- Precise search, where you put double quotation marks around the words you’re searching for, the Google search engine will match exactly what you’re looking for.
3. Search within a site: site
- If you’re a developer, you’ve heard of Stackoverflow. If you can’t find the answer at home, you can find the answer at stackoverflow.com/
4. Exclude the minus sign, narrow the scope: –
5. Wildcard search: *
6. Document search: FileType
