Recently I've just punted and begun searching SO and Github directly.

One thing Google has gotten really good at lately is knowing that when I search for "John Smith" I mean John Smith the baseball player not the video game character or vice-versa.

I've always just searched 'John Smith baseball' and that works well in DDG too.

you can also add 'site:github.com' or 'site:stackoverflow.com' to your search

It's not as good, especially for Github.

GH also breaks down the results into types which is very helpful when you only want code or are looking for documentation or discussion.
