It doesn't matter if you're a Junior or Senior Developer, everyone uses Google to search for solutions.

What a lot of people don't know, is how to effectively search for the right answer.

Let me help you improve your Google search skills with these 16 tips!

🧵🧵🧵

1. NOT Logical operator:

You use this operator to exclude results if it contains the operand using "-" e.g.

javascript -frameworks
2. OR Logical operator:

This is a binary operator that returns a result if it contains both operands or one of them e.g.

(angular OR react) javascript tips
3. AND Logical operator:

This is a binary operator that returns a result containing it's operant on the left and right hand-side e.g.

html AND css

This returns a result if both terms are in the search result.
4. Exact match:

Use quotation marks to return an exact match in your search result e.g.

python tutorial "full course"
5. Wildcard:

Use the wildcard "*" placeholder to return a search result containing anything in your phrase e.g.

"the * javascript tutorial"
6. Site specifier:

This is probably the most used one. Using "site:" will return searches from that specific URL e.g.

site:https://t.co/c7XaH1z0RU S3

The S3 section of the amazon docs will be returned.
7. File specifier:

Using "file:" returns a search result based on the file type e.g.

filetype:pdf javascript tutorial
8. Related specifier:

Using "related:" returns the root domain of similar websites e.g.

related:https://t.co/cBQZlrwV0X
9. Map specifier:

Using "map:" returns the location of your search e.g.

map:silicon valley
10. Cache specifier:

Using "cache:" returns a cached version of a website e.g.

cache:https://t.co/DJSbcG5Khv

A webpage indexed by Google will have a cached version available on Google's end.
11. Intitle specifier:

Using "intitle:" returns results that contains your searched word in the title e.g.

intitle:best vscode extensions
12. inurl specifier:

This is a specifier that returns results containing its operant in the URL e.g.

python inurl:tutorial
13. define specifier:

This will display the meaning of a word in a card-like result e.g.

define:entrepreneur
14. intext specifier:

Find pages containing a certain word (or words) somewhere in the content e.g.

intext:best way to learn python
15. blogurl specifier:

Find blog URLs under a specific domain e.g.

blogurl:https://t.co/cynZoYUFJ3
16. movie specifier:

Find information about a specific movie e.g.

movie:avatar

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.


In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
