I apologize for my first post being on a whingy side, but I would like to see a bit more sophisticated search query syntax. I’m just (re)starting with Julia and I’m looking for IDE options. Search query “IDE” finds a whole bunch of “ **ide** as”, “ **ide** ntifiers”, “guidelines” and other noise. Quick googling on the subject of Discourse search engine, finds many opinions from Discourse people about it’s super-awesomeness as is. Am I missing something?

In my experience, most websites’ custom search engines are not as powerful as simply searching Google:
