How to search for topics related to Go without google failin

[Dedalus89]

So I've found it hard to look up certain random questions I've had about Go. So often I'm directed to sites about pokemon go or CS go (an fps), both of which are much more popular in the west than Go. So my question is if there are any good keywords to use besides the extremely common word "go" I can use to keep google from getting confused.

This is a search engine that claims to solve your problem. I'm not sure if it's maintained etc, but give it a try.

Some ideas:

• keywords: game, board game, weiqi, baduk, igo, 囲碁, 圍棋, 围棋 ;
• ask your random questions here, or other Go venues ;
• Sensei's Library ;

I'll second EdLee's - Baduk tends to work for me - as a go-to search term for any Go related searches, as well as sensei's (e.g. search for "l+1 sensei")

That’s an ancient page, the idea was nice, but IIRC it sadly didn't work well long ago already … and now I get “Failure connecting to server”

Depending on what you are looking for, you can simply add some go-related words.

If you are looking for a game analysis then it is a fair bet that "sente" will be somewhere on the page and would not be on the pokemon site.

Well, this seems to me just one of the small inconveniences is life. As suggested by others, just adding an extra keyword can work really well. Go is not the only thing affected this way. A while ago, I tried a small messaging software package called Sky. For the obvious reason, I cannot possibly find its documentations online.

In addition to EdLee's suggestions, you may also want to try:
- names (of players, of software, or other)
- typical go terms like tenuki, joseki, kifu etc.

The easiest was to search for topics related to Go without google failing is to not use Google. I have not used it for years. There are several other search engines.
