    More like googling skills. Definitely got some of my first jobs by telling my interviewer that I google shit I don’t know

      You might be surprised at how many people don’t really know how to use Google/a search engine effectively.

      Things like “what should I search for to find X” is a sentence I hear from both friends and colleagues quite often.

          I had a coworker in the early 00s that would repeatedly fail to search for something because she would type “www.goggles.com” into the address bar.

            It’s just unnecessary extra inefficient steps, usually by people not particularly tech-proficient. Not a moral judgement, just an observation!

            Most browsers I run into, you can search from the address bar. You can also disable or point to a different search engine, if you want. So you could skip going to the site. That aside…most browsers would accept google.com and not need the full https://www

            I say most anecdotally as I haven’t tested them all.

                I know that’s the point, which is why I said it. The person I replied to asked if they were missing something, so I was attempting to educate them on said point. Then they edited their post to add the /s after the fact.
