<p>I've seeing how technical people emphasized <strong>Googling</strong> is an extremely important skill that every Software Engineer should properly acquire.</p>
<p>This is not an exhaustive list of <strong>Google Search</strong> techniques, but an opinionated commonly used techniques by myself.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>filetype:</code> shows results of a certain filetype (pdf, docx, xlsx, etc.)</li>
<li><code>intitle</code> find pages that contain a specific word in the title.</li>
</ul>
<h2><code>related:</code></h2>
<p>Find related sites belonging to <strong>hubspot</strong>? You would get results such as:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>knowledge.hubspot.com</code>, <code>developers.hubspot.com</code>, etc.</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>related:hubspot.com
</code></pre>
<h2><code>site:</code></h2>
<p>How to center a div? 🙈 To find all results from stackoverflow.com:</p>
<pre><code>site:stackoverflow.com how to center a div
</code></pre>
<h3><code>site:[website] "keyword"</code></h3>
<p>To search content based on specific keyword on a specific site 😲</p>
<pre><code>site:freecodecamp.com "frontend"
</code></pre>
<p>BUT HOW if medium.com doesn't allow us to search for particular keyword based on <strong>specific tag</strong> or look for <strong>older articles</strong>? I gotchu 😳</p>
<pre><code>site:https://medium.com/tag/software-engineering essentials
</code></pre>
<h2><code>"[search term]"</code></h2>
<p>It's to find exact matches, and they are not based on <strong>keyword</strong> this time.</p>
<pre><code>"typescript essentials"
</code></pre>
