There have been some recent discussions that it's getting increasingly difficult to find duplicates or near-duplicates of questions posted by new users, on the main site. Similar concepts are getting repeated time and again in answers, leading to duplicated efforts. So what are some tips to quickly search for duplicates on Physics SE?
Some of our primary search resources are of course
- Search engines like Google
- SE's site-specific search
- Queries on Data Explorer
But how exactly do you use them to search efficiently? Are there any additional scripts we can use? For example, one of the scripts that I personally use is Searchbar and Nav Improvements by Samuel Liew.
