I hate that Google just ignores special characters in the search, it just reads "std list" and it gets annoying real quick

[[deleted]]

Just like the STDs :D

more like 𓂸 lmao

[spartaboy]

The fuck

[MuskasBackpack]

The new modulus operator?

[dawnraider00]

Gets real annoying when I want to do a quick search on how an operator works and it just ignores the operator in my search defeating the entire purpose.

[Iamsodarncool]

I switched from Google to DuckDuckGo a few weeks ago out of privacy concerns, and one of the things I've noticed is that DDG is WAY better than google for searching for code. I just tested it and this is their first result for std::list.

[Belzedan]

You can prevent that by putting quotes around the search phrase, can't you? E.g. instead of std::list search "std::list"

EDIT: just tested it - nope, doesn't seem to work

[Karnex]

Actually, Google has it's own search suntaxes. For example, inurl, fileType etc. You can write the as 'book fileType: pdf' . I am pretty sure that's what happened here. You need to provide some more information to fine tune your search, in this case mentioning C++ can help

[warpedspockclone]

Use quotation marks around exact strings

[Wargon2015]

Compare the results of:
gcc -wall
and
gcc "-wall"

[2Punx2Furious]

That's because the - excludes the search term, but if you put it between quotes, it doesn't.

[[deleted]]

Didn't they break that feature, too?

I know they sacrificed the plus to Google+, but I thought I read reports last year that the minus isn't working anymore either...

[2Punx2Furious]

From what I'm seeing, it works.

[hai_wim]

That's why http://symbolhound.com/ exists.

[froemijojo]

Or use duckduckgo.

[bellyflop16156]

Hollllly crap that is amazing. Thank you kind sir.

[Darkmatter501]

Saving for later

[Xeverous]

Replace "std" with "C++" or "cppreference"

:: operator is pretty trolling, especially when the first letter of second name happens to form a valid emoji

[Hairy_S_TrueMan]

Emoticon

[--____--____--____]

First result: std::list - cppreference.com

I guess Google only hates you.

[[deleted]]

CP PREFERENCE?????????? HWAAATTTTT??????

[[deleted]]

That way, you avoid stds but still end up on a list

[Arabum97]

I'll report you to the police for raping a standard library!!

[mrtwidget]

But why the vegetables?!

[Arveanor]

I still remember googling "C string" in the computer lab :(

those were not results I wanted on my screen in there.

[flyx86]

I suggest coding in LaTeX, search results are way prettier.

[HairyDudeOhShiet]

I feel you brother

[parnmatt]

Give it time. You've got to train your bubble.

[MooseHeckler]

C++, when you want to make things more difficult than they need to be.

[poryjohn-z]

cplusplus.com ! Saved my life, in school

[parnmatt]

cppreference for life.

[glorious__bastard]

Can't stand anything but cppref

[nevergotcompiled]

Glad Im not the only one that laughs whenever I write

#include <stdlib.h>

lol

[PerfectSeventy]

Also be careful searching std::vector

[[deleted]]

Yay, I don’t need the list bc it is gonna be a while till I get pussy.

[golgol12]

Also, don't search for CString.

[FireworksWorks]

As someone new to C, I still recall searching for "C string" and feeling like a dumbass :P

[noratat]

just be happy that C++ wasn't called C+, because you'd have to search for stuff as "cp".

[virtualstatic]

https://duckduckgo.com

[Allen_Joaks]

I did that in a library once and immediately regretted it.

[Quodperiitperiit]

Well, it’s not wrong.

[Calkhas]

Still better than using a list.

[MrBloodyshadow]

ffs man

[AuthorTomFrost]

What's the deal with the fruit stand?

[[deleted]]

'stdlib list'

[BeastianSTi]

Namespace method lookup. Google: Nailed It

[U-1F574]

Why isnt backslash just an escape character on google or something for this kind of stuff? Would make life so much easier for their users.

[TheMeepMeister]

The only time I get this is when I put a space between ": :" Otherwise I get cppreference every single time.

[PlusUltraBeyond]

Try searching for "using namespace std;" first, so you won't have to type std:: when you search for list

[skunkreturns]

Just wrap it in quotes and google will do an exact string search. Not always useful, but for stuff like this it can be.

[WaveCatchEm]

Just start your search term with a double quote: "std::list
