I think we should have an FAQ for that stuff. -- Andrei

I actually added a FAQ entry for this awhile back.

http://dlang.org/faq.html#q1_1

I've been searching "dlang" for as long as I can remember now,
and it works pretty well for finding results. ... Except when
Google sometimes corrects you to "golang." (Conspiracy!?)

My trick which I use to sound really smart in IRC when people ask questions was to add a Search Engine to Chrome with a keyword which uses a Google "I'm Feeling Lucky" search on dlang.org.

If you go into Chrome's Settings then Manage Search Engines you can scroll to the bottom of the list and add a new one.

I added one with these settings:

Name:    D
Keyword: d
URL:     http://www.google.com/search?q=site:dlang.org+%s&btnI

Whenever I want to look something up I just go to my search/url bar and type "d <whatever>" and it takes me directly what I'm looking for in less than a second. It searches the main site and the forums so it even works with discussion topics. You can add another keyword search that doesn't use "I'm Feeling Lucky" for cases where it takes you to the wrong page or you want a results list.

Name:    D (google search)
Keyword: dg
URL:     http://www.google.com/search?q=site:dlang.org+%s

Firefox supports keyword searches too (though I can't remember how to set them up, I think you use a bookmark or something).
