I don't program with D a lot, but when I try to find information in google, I use that way: "dlang something". And google very often tries to change it to "slang something" :) But I think, today, it's the best way. Because you can't look for "d something". Because D - it's just a letter. dlang - it's a word, so you can find something more ease, than just with "D".


Personally, if i am looking for anything related to D i first search with the prefix "d programming language" so i would search for "d programming language something" then if that fails i would maybe try "dlang something" but i currently only do that if i think that "something" could be found on dlang.org and this has so far worked well enough for me.

tldr: Try searching with "d programming language" as a prefix first.

For example, I try to use that phrase:
d programming language sha256
I needed only sha-256 library for my course work. Only. Don't ask me why :) And I really don't know: is there RIGHT library or not? And there are a lot of noise in google results. There're much noise and there're few common cipher libraries. If I know - there aren't another libraries - I'll try to fit existance libraries for my purposes. If I know - there is library more fitted for my purposes - I'll look for that.

It's very easy add to web-page:
bozf4qy (or something else)
And all problems about search are solved: you will look only for D2 libraries and solutions.

Why not?
