Internet search tips & tricks for developers

Posted on 7 June, 2020
All of the below mentioned tips works in both DuckDuckGo & Google (i use both 😉
), it should work fine in other search engines too.
1.file:pdf golang
Use it to search for books, presentations or specific file types
2.inurl:docs.djangoproject.com templates
Use it to look for occurence of some phrases in the URL of the website mentioned. inurl docs.djangoproject.com look for templates phrase.
3.site:github.com synatx error
Limit search results to a specific site, good for looking for bug fixes.
4."how to add pagination in django"
Double quotes can be used for exact matches of the phrase (doesn't work sometimes).
5.related:http://freecodecamp.org
Related specifier, "related:" returns the root domain of similar websites
6.intitle:best vim plugins
Intitle specifier returns results that contains your searched word in the title.
