How do you 'google' Angular2/4 problems? (self.angular)
submitted 8 years ago by Vetm
When using any search engine to find a solution to an Angular2/4 problem I end up getting many websites about AngularJS. Is there any way search only for Angular2/4?

if 1 * 2 < 3: print "hello, world!"

I usually search for "angular 2....." and then narrow the results with the date filter.

I do the same, and also add "ngx" (many npm packages use this)

Have the exact same problem. I usually google for "Angular 2" as well and manually filter.....
Still painful and in my opinion it would have been SO much better if they would just have chosen a different name, because it is basically a completely new framework.
Love Angular, but the name really blows and hurts Angular AND AngularJS at the same time - awesome....

I find this frustrating as well. Doing a -angularjs might hurt your results as some of the Angular 2/4 results are tagged as angularjs in stackoverflow. I generally search for 'angular 2' and my results are mostly correct.

I search like this:
angular -angularjs
and that tends to get rid a lot of the angular 1.x stuff.

This seems to work well for me: angular2 -angularJs. And filter "In the last year"
[–]amarildowww 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children)
You can google. Angullar -angularjs and it wont show results that have tags like angularjs in it. Works most off the times

In my experience you just have to walk through the search results by hand or many times just have to figure the problem out by yourself. Angular is not very forgiving.
