http.cat is surprisingly useful because of the short url. Typing in e.g. http.cat/422 beats any other method I know for quickly looking up status codes by number.

httpstatus.es/404 works too, but it's less fun.

If you are using DuckDuckGo then it doesn't get much quicker than typing:

  !http 422

Just type in "error 422" and a Google snippet tells you what it is. Saves 3 characters, doesn't depend on a single website, and returns a more descriptive paragraph instead of some silly image with no relevance...

Disagree. It effectively does depend on a single website.

I just entered "error 422" into DDG and got a useful result so if you interpret the parent post as "use your favorite search engine" then it doesn't depend on a single website.

And for something non-critical I would rather depend on a quirky independent website than on google. I want the internet to be more than six companies dominating everything.
