In my experience both Oracle and Microsoft documentation is usually good to excellent,I actually want google to search specifically on ms docs site most of the time. I do find AWS docs to be lengthy and incomprehensible.

StackOverflow is mostly useful to quickly (and often dirtly) solve issues that are burning now, without getting deeper understanding of the subject. This isn't universally true, some answers are exceptionally good.



Somewhat unrelated, the case where I want to "Google search some specific site" is well suited to duckduckgo bangs, if there is a bang for that site.

!msdn will search MS's developer network


Just like site:msdn.microsoft.com, just more convenient and with worse results
