True, it does... I just noticed this because I've actually got in the habit of scanning for stackoverflow results, first - they almost always are right on the money, and it's less cognitive overhead to read a site format I'm familiar with, with extraneous discussion well tucked-away.

It almost feels like a cache miss when I have to drop down to the official site/documentation, since that typically requires a greater time investment to read through to find the relevant sections.

I guess that's a tribute to how well stackoverflow works, most the time. And also to how lazy I am.



Thanks for the concrete query--I'm happy to ping the indexing team to make sure it's not tickling any unusual bugs or coverage issues. Jeff's original blog post helped us uncover a few of those things to improve.


If you're looking for SO results why not use 'site:stackoverflow.com'? That would clear out everything else.
