Could you share your frequently used tricks to search the web for programming related information?
Here is my toolbox:
- To find a library or an application I use del.icio.us search (ex. communication java python) or recently stackoverflow.
- To check recent news about a project or library I use google and narrow my search results to month (ex. spellchecker.net)
- To find examples for a library I use google code search (ex. lang:C# log4net configure)
- For general searches I use google custom search with stackoverflow.com added as preferred site. This gives my search emphasis on the computer programing so that searching for outlook selected text returns pages related to programming not outlook user guides :).
Just google it, but google it well.
