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"
google-exact.webp

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

html AND css
google-and.webp

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

(javascript OR python) free course
google-or.webp

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

javascript -css
google-minus.webp

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

"how to start * in 6 months"
google-wildcard.webp

6. Search inside a single website:​

site:freecodecamp.org
google-site.webp

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

filetype:pdf learn css
google-filetype.webp

8. Search for a range of numbers:​

ecmascript 2016..2018
google-range.webp

9. Use the before operator to return only results before a given date​

You must provide year-month-day dates or only a year. For example:
javascript before:2020
google-before.webp

10. Use the after operator to return only results after a given date​

You must provide year-month-day dates or only a year. For example:
web development after:2020
google-after.webp
