Python has been the worst for me; it's almost impossible to find the official documentation for modules/functions.

Defining search aliases or custom search engines in the browser with URLs like '''https://www.google.com/search?q=site:docs.python.org+%s''' is probably the reasonable thing to do.



https://devdocs.io is nice when you're searching for official documentation.


Reminds me of Dash: https://kapeli.com/dash


Thanks for dropping that link. This thing looks fantastic


I have the same experience. I assume these websites are just content farms trying to give away free introductory training for Python programming. Later, they try to upsell you to buy training. I see the same when Googling common Git issues.


Ditto, moving from Scala to Python and Go for a stint shocked me with the craptacular state of search results for "easy/popular" languages. Next stop was an extension for blocking particular sites in search.
