⇱ Use Google like a pro - DEV Community


Googling is one of the most important skills for every developer.

Let me show you how to get better at Googling.

Let's start!

1 . Use quotes to force an exact-match search:

"what is javascript"

👁 Exact Match

2 . AND operator will return only results related to both terms:

html AND css

👁 AND operator

3 . You can use the OR operator to get the results related to one of the search terms

(javascript OR python) free course

👁 OR opeator

4 . - operator will exclude results that contain a term or phrase:

javascript -css

👁 Minus operator

5 . You can use the (*) wildcards as placeholders, which will be replaced by any word or phrase.

"how to start * in 6 months"

👁 Wildcard operator

6 . Search inside a single website:

site:freecodecamp.org

👁 Site operator

7 . You can also use a very useful feature that helps to find a specific file type.

filetype:pdf learn css

👁 Search by filetype

8 . Search for a range of numbers:

ecmascript 2016..2018

👁 Search by number range
