News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I mostly use Google to search on reddit, github and hacker news with "site:github.com".

It's also somehow good to find pdf files with "filetype:pdf".

As already mentioned, the occasional currency and time conversions are also pretty nice. I admit I use their calculator too sometimes.

Essentially, Google advanced search operators have been a pretty powerful feature that I've been using since I learned about it in 2011.

Other than that, I agree the generic search result are a bloody mess.

For a lot of other searches, GPT 4 helps a lot.

What is your favorite operator?
