Yo guys you need this Chrome extension.
Litteraly so helpfull, shows code snippets in google Search
On Chrome WebStore (also on firefox)
- Greppper

Duck duck go does this natively.

It's one of the reasons why I've been using it as my primary search.

@sariel I don't see it. Is there a config to tweak?

@asgs use this:

code "Javascript array reverse"
And a "software" tab will appear if you're lucky.

Or you can use the bang

!code Javascript array reverse

But that site can take a millennia to load 🥲

@C0D4 no software tab for me :-(

And the shebang returned 504 🙄

@sariel hmm i just feel like duckduckgos search results suck.. i really dont like google but ive tried ddg and didnt get what i want even if ir was easy

It seems DDG was designed to be programmer friendly as their search queries are well defined anyways, it doesn't work great for vague searches, and image search is just useless.

@asgs I use Firefox if that changes anything. But like @C0D4 @theabbie said, it's hit or miss depending on your query-fu.

I would say 90% of the stuff I search for shows up with working examples.

It's actually really smart of them to do this too. I wouldn't doubt if a large percentage of users that search online are all related to software development.

It's about time we got a dedicated search engine.

@joewilliams007 this is a good point.

I use Google for all of my less than ideal searches 🏴‍☠️

DDG does get me there eventually, but Google's indexing algorithm is still optimal.

@sariel yeah. I would hate to think about what search engine i will use since i just use the adress bar.
However when it comes to things that might be censored, or kinda illegalish but not harmfull to anyone, google is terrible

@joewilliams007 it's not so bad outside the US, or if you use a VPN.

@sariel I am using Firefox, too

Maybe it doesn't think I am a Developer and stopped bothering

@asgs I usually preface my searches with the language.

"ruby parse json" should bring it up. It at least works on my machine. 😂

@sariel hey im in Germany i think sometimes i look up stuff but cant find it on google cuz its restricting me from it.

@sariel i do it the other way 😂 i usually do e.g. replace all java
bad example but when i started with java i was confused why .replace doesnt .replaceAll

@joewilliams007 chances are likely. I usually surf the high seas of Sweden.
