Googling is one of the most important skills for every developer. Here are 10 tips to Google efficiently!

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

"what is javascript" Google search exact match  example.
2. AND operator will return only results related to both terms:

html AND css Google search with AND keyword.
3. You can use the OR operator to get the results related to one of the search terms

(javascript OR python) free course Google search OR keyword example.
4. - operator will exclude results that contain a term or phrase:

javascript -css Google search with - operator example
5. You can use the (*) wildcards as placeholders, which will be replaced by any word or phrase.

"how to start * in 6 months" Google search with wildcard example.
6. Search inside a single website:

site:freecodecamp.org Google search inside a single website example.
7. You can also use a very useful feature that helps to find a specific file type.

filetype:pdf learn css Google search for specific file type example.
8. Search for a range of numbers:

ecmascript 2016..2018 Google search for a specific range of numbers.
9. Use the `before` operator to return only results before a given date

javascript before:2020 Google search with a before operator.
10. Use the `after` operator to return only results after a given date

web development after:2020 Google search with after operator
