Search for a specific site

  • Put "site:" in front of a site or domain.
  • Example: site:dev.to React Native Custom Hooks
  • Hint: Don’t put spaces between the symbol or word and your search term. A search for site:dev.to will work, but site: dev.to won’t.

Fill missing words or phrases

  • Use Asterisk * to fill missing words or phrases.
  • Example: How to * in React Native

  • Put - in front of a word you want to leave out.
  • Example: React Native -navigation

Search for an exact match

  • Put a word or phrase inside quotes.
  • Example: "React Native Navigation"

Search within a range of numbers

  • Put .. between two numbers.
  • Example: Javascript 2017..2022

Combine searches

  • Put "OR" between each search query.
  • Exmaple: Javascript OR Typescript

Important: Not all search operators return exhaustive results.
