Using Google to Find the Best StackOverflow Result
Google's search engine is better than SO. Here is how I search google to find the best results on SO:
#this limits the google search results just to the SO website
site:http://stackoverflow.com/
#searches for an exact match of a keyword
site:http://stackoverflow.com/ "nested forms rails"
#searches for synonymous words
site:http://stackoverflow.com/ *nested forms rails"
