I wish jq had a different name. I don't know its functions and (JSONPath's?) syntax well, so I'm frequently trying to use it in a hurry and digging through jQuery search results to find what I need.

You should be able to add -jquery to your query to remove it as a term. Or do "jq" most of the time it works to clear your results

Also duckduckgo can be better than google sometimes

DDG is terrible with this. I've had so many jq searches with the -jquery, and yet, I still many jquery results. It's super annoying.

I use DDG exclusively and yes of course I add -jquery after kicking myself for forgetting.

Plenty of results still slip through, and it seems some people abbreviate jQuery to jq anyway.
